Table overview: Table A04 presents the estimated number and weighted prevalence of internetusing children aged 12–17 in each country who reported being offered money or gifts in return
for sexual images or videos of themselves, or being offered money or gifts to meet someone in

are drawn from different waves of the Disrupting Harm study and therefore reflect data collected
between 2020–2021 and 2024–2025. The table also presents the sum of the country-level
population estimates and the average prevalence across the 21 countries included in the analysis.
