Child rights specialists share their alarm over these figures and how children and youth are growing up in a more sexualized environment where harassment is a daily occurrence.

Read about children’s experiences and thoughts on sexual violence and harassment at school, with friends, and on the internet.

Language researcher Fredrik Lindström investigates language and how the concept of sexuality and its expression has changed over time.
