Disrupting Harm: Viet Nam

Disrupting Harm in Viet Nam is an evidence-led report that outlines the harrowing realities of online sexual exploitation and abuse of children in Viet Nam.

In early 2019, the End Violence Partnership invested $7 million to develop Disrupting Harm, a holistic and innovative research project that aims to better understand how digital technology facilitates the sexual exploitation and abuse of children.

The Partnership brought together and funded three global organisations – ECPAT International, INTERPOL and the UNICEF Office of Research – Innocenti – to undertake new research in 13 countries across Eastern and Southern Africa and Southeast Asia.
