It shows that a worrying number of men are using everyday technologies, such as video-chat and streaming platforms, to direct and watch the sexual abuse of children in real time. Released by the Childlight East Asia and Pacific Hub at the University of New South Wales in partnership with International Justice Mission (IJM), the report draws on data collected and analysed by Childlight with insights and recommendations provided by IJM. Of 1,939 Australian men 18 years or older who participated in the survey, 1.8% admitted to engaging in sexually explicit webcam interactions with children and another 4.7% said they would if offered. -
