Finding: “An estimated 4 million internet-using children aged 12–17 across 21 countries had
someone else share sexual images of them without permission in the span of one year.”
Table overview: Table A07 presents the estimated number and weighted prevalence of internetusing children aged 12–17 in each country who reported that someone shared sexual images or
videos of them without their permission during a one-year period preceding the survey. Country
estimates are drawn from different waves of the Disrupting Harm study and therefore reflect data
collected between 2021–2022 and 2024–2025. The table also presents the sum of the countrylevel population estimates and the average prevalence across the 21 countries included in the
analysis.
