In addition, the regional estimates are based on data collected during different rounds of the
Disrupting Harm study and therefore reflect different time periods (2021–2022 and 2024–2025).
They are also derived from a limited number of countries within each region rather than all
countries in those regions. Consequently, the findings should be interpreted as indicative of the
participating countries rather than estimates for the regions as a whole.
Despite these limitations, the findings demonstrate that technology-facilitated child sexual
exploitation and abuse affects substantial numbers of children across diverse contexts. The
presence of this abuse across all four regions underscores that it is a global child protection issue
requiring coordinated prevention, reporting and response efforts across countries and sectors.
