This brief is based on a secondary analysis of reports published in the context of the Disrupting Harm project conducted across 13 countries and focusing on the topic of online child sexual exploitation and abuse.
This secondary analysis highlighted a significant insight: despite conventional beliefs that link widespread urban connectivity with increased vulnerability to online child sexual exploitation and abuse, the Disrupting Harm research shows that children in rural areas are equally or even more vulnerable to these risks compared to their urban counterparts.
