Confronting Online Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitationmckenln
The document discusses confronting online child sexual abuse and exploitation at an open forum conference. It summarizes perspectives from victims of online grooming and abuse, the impacts of viewing adult pornography on young people, and challenges in supporting victims. Key points include that victims are unlikely to report abuse without discovery, feel shame and guilt, and have long recovery processes. The document also outlines abuser relationships to victims, behaviors of young people online, and the need for support services and understanding of online risks to children and youth.
Georgia has the highest rate of teen dating violence of any state according to the CDC. Over 100 teens lost their lives to abuse in 2010 and 1 in 3 teens in Georgia experience some form of dating abuse. Teen dating abuse comes in many forms including threats, insults, isolation, stalking, and physical or sexual violence. While 80% of adults do not see teen dating abuse as a problem, stories from victims like Erica illustrate the toll it can take in destroying lives and self-esteem. Organizations in Georgia like PADV work to educate teens, but more comprehensive prevention programs and a statewide curriculum are still needed to adequately address this serious issue.
This document provides an overview of various regulatory and ethical issues related to magazine publishing. It discusses concepts like representation, censorship, privacy, offensive content, and the roles of regulatory bodies like IPSO in enforcing standards around accuracy, privacy, harassment and more. It also addresses copyright, complaints procedures, intellectual property protections, and how data protection laws and advertising standards apply to magazines.
Confronting Online Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitationmckenln
This document discusses the impact of technology on the sexual abuse and exploitation of children and young people. It summarizes research conducted by Barnardo's, including interviews with staff at child sexual exploitation services, parents, and young people. The research found that an increasing number of referrals are related to online abuse rather than offline abuse. Common online behaviors included grooming, sexting, accessing inappropriate websites, and communicating with strangers. However, professionals and agencies often do not recognize or prioritize online sexual harm against children. The document recommends improved training for professionals, prevention resources in schools, and assessments that consider online abuse.
This document discusses Richard's experience dating a much younger woman named Jennifer who was 19 while he was 28. Their 9-year age gap created challenges, including feeling awkward around each other's friends who were from different generations. Richard also felt like Jennifer's "mentor" or "sugar daddy" due to their different career stages and financial situations. After 6 months, Richard ended the relationship as the novelty of her youth faded. The document also profiles another man, Mark, who is in a long-term relationship with a woman, Louise, who is 18 years younger than him. While some question their motivations, they maintain their relationship is based on love rather than money. Experts note age-gap relationships often face social
Confronting Online Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitationmckenln
The document summarizes key points from a conference on protecting children online and supporting victims of online child sexual abuse. It discusses how technology facilitates abuse through ease of access and communication. It also examines how grooming occurs differently online through normalization of behavior, threats, and promises of romance. The impacts on victims are long-lasting, affecting their mental health and relationships. Resolution requires a multi-disciplinary team approach with specialized models and training to assist recovery for children and their families over the long term.

This document provides an overview of regulatory issues relevant to Q Magazine. It discusses IPSO, the independent press regulator in the UK, and summarizes key aspects of IPSO's Editors' Code of Practice. This includes accurate reporting, privacy, harassment, reporting on children, crime victims, and avoiding discrimination. Financial journalism standards are also summarized.
- The document discusses different perspectives on prostitution law and how research should influence policymaking. It outlines definitions of prostitution and differing views on how it should be handled legally. Both research supporting regulation and research against it is presented, with varying strengths and weaknesses. After reviewing the evidence, the final recommendation is for abolitionist policies that decriminalize selling sex but criminalize buying sex.
The document summarizes research on the topic of sexting among teenagers. It presents survey results that found around half of teenagers had sent or received sexually suggestive messages, but less than a third had sent nude or semi-nude images. The majority of teenagers reported sexting for fun rather than due to pressure. However, the document notes sexting can have legal and emotional consequences, as depicted in the book "Twisted". While some results differed from outside research, the conclusion is that sexting is a problem but may be okay in moderation for fun between consenting individuals.
Domestic violence affects families in several negative ways. It is defined as any type of abuse, including physical, emotional, sexual, or financial, that takes place within an intimate relationship. Statistics show that reported domestic violence is much higher based on anonymous surveys compared to reported incidents, indicating it is underreported. Sociologists believe domestic violence occurs due to factors like a historical view that men had the right to control their wives, while feminists argue it stems from patriarchal systems that promote male dominance and women's subservience within the family. Victims may stay with abusers due to financial dependence, social pressures, or feeling responsible for the violence.
What is a sex crime and how do you know the charges you are facing are related to a sex crime? When do you call a lawyer?
There are so many questions when accused of any sexual crime at any time.
This document discusses how demographics such as gender, age, and job status can help filmmakers create thriller films targeted at specific audiences. It provides statistics that show that more women than men watch thriller films, likely because women often go to the cinema in groups, while men typically go with a partner. It also shows that those age 50+ are more likely to watch thriller films than those ages 14-17, possibly because older people have more free time and disposable income. Additionally, it notes that those with lower-class jobs like students have less money and time to see films compared to those with higher-class jobs like lawyers and bankers. The document suggests filmmakers can use these demographic details to cater aspects of thriller films to
The document discusses research on pornography and its relationship to behaviors. It finds that viewing child pornography is linked to actual child abuse. Studies show that those possessing child pornography are likely to have committed hands-on sexual offenses against children as well, often with multiple victims. Researchers conclude that child pornography possessors cannot be assumed to not pose a risk to children, as there is significant crossover between possessing such images and committing contact sex offenses.

The document discusses the narrow definitions of masculinity that many boys and young men feel pressure to conform to, such as aggression, dominance, stoicism and sexual prowess. It profiles Cole, an 18-year-old athlete, who feels he must suppress his emotions and vulnerabilities to fit in with other boys and men. The document argues that these limited models of masculinity can be psychologically and socially harmful. It explores how boys learn from a young age to disconnect from emotions seen as weak and are discouraged from emotional openness, especially with other men like their fathers.
According to Marxist theory, social class differences are a major factor in why people commit crimes. The working class is more likely to commit crimes out of financial necessity, due to family/social influences, peer pressure, lack of education, and other factors. They are also more likely to commit violent crimes that are detected by police. In contrast, the middle class is more prone to crimes motivated by greed, addiction, or boredom, and they often engage in less detectable "white collar" crimes like fraud.
The document discusses domestic violence and abuse, providing definitions, statistics, theories, and history. It notes that domestic abuse can include physical, emotional, and psychological harm between intimate partners. Theories discussed potential causes like learned behavior from family or a cycle of violence and abuse. Statistics show women are most commonly victims but men can also be abused. Solutions discussed recognizing abusive relationships and seeking help.

The document discusses learning activities for orienting oneself and exploring online communities. It begins with a quote that the map is not the territory, meaning one should explore beyond what is presented. It then lists activities like orienting yourself, looking and listening, lurking and mingling to develop an online presence and voice. The document provides some examples of online community elements like blogs, profiles, and discussion boards. It stresses that the slideshow itself is not a full representation and encourages exploring further.
Sexting, the act of sending sexually explicit messages or photos electronically, has become a problem among teens. While some teens view it as harmless flirting, it can have serious emotional consequences if the images are shared further, such as bullying, depression, and in some cases suicide. Current sexting laws punish offenders with felony charges and sex offender registry, but legislators are considering reducing charges to misdemeanors for teen sexting to avoid severe lifelong consequences. Educating teens on the risks and changing the laws are proposed as solutions.
This power-point analyses the Indian government and Sri Lankan's plans and budgets from a gender and equity lens. It argues that they are not gender and diversity transformative, do not focus on strengthening services for 'care' and engaging with men and boys on masculinities. Neither are budgets responsive to gender and diversity concerns. Finally, the paradigm of development is not consistent with gender and social equity
The document discusses the concept of gender mainstreaming. It began in 1985 at the Third World Conference on Women in Nairobi and was further developed by the United Nations. Gender mainstreaming aims to promote gender equality by assessing how policies, programs, and legislation will impact men and women. It seeks to make gender perspectives central to all activities from policy development to implementation. The goal is to address inequalities that discriminate against both sexes and ensure initiatives work to reduce gender inequality.

This document provides an introduction to key gender concepts. It defines gender and differentiates it from sex. Gender refers to socially constructed characteristics and roles of women and men, while sex refers to biological differences. The document outlines differences between gender and sex roles. It explores the relationship between gender and power. It also defines related terms like gender equality, equity, mainstreaming, empowerment, and analyzes approaches like gender-neutral, aware and transformative. The document discusses realities of gender disparities and potential gains from reducing them, such as increased agricultural outputs and reduced hunger. It compares Women in Development and Gender and Development approaches. Finally, it defines practical and strategic gender needs.
The document discusses gender as a social construct and how it relates to educational practice. It explains that gender roles are cultural expectations about appropriate behavior for males and females. Gender bias arises from patriarchal societies that view men as dominant. Educational practices should promote equal access for all genders and prevent gender-based violence through approaches like human rights education and teaching respectful relationships. The goal is to address how social constructions of gender can influence education.
This document provides information about sex, gender, gender identity and expression. It discusses the differences and relationships between sex assigned at birth based on biological attributes versus gender identity. It also addresses transgender experiences and the process of transitioning socially and medically. Intersex identities are also noted. Myths and stereotypes about transgender people are presented and rebutted. Respect for personal gender identity and avoidance of invasive personal questions are emphasized.
Advocating for children and young people experiencing domestic violenceBASPCAN
The document discusses evaluating advocacy services for children and young people experiencing domestic violence. It examines methods used including focus groups, interviews, case record analysis, and feedback questionnaires. Key themes from interviews included relationships, trust, activities, feeling respected. Case records showed most clients were female and involved with multiple agencies. The advocacy service distinguished itself by giving choice, safety planning, and helping clients understand their situations and feelings. Standards for advocacy promoted client engagement and representation. Advocacy was found to give clients voice, agency, and control over resources with support from persistent advocates.

The Positive Involvement of Fathers: what do families need from practitoners?BASPCAN
This document discusses the benefits of positive father involvement for mothers, children, and communities. It summarizes research finding that maternal support from the baby's father correlates with lower depression rates, and paternal support correlates with shorter hospital stays for new mothers. Involving noncustodial fathers can reduce the likelihood children are placed in out of home care.
The document also reports on a study of 74 practitioners working with 872 families, finding 45% had positively involved fathers. Common reasons for noninvolvement included failure to engage or support fathers. Interviews with 20 fathers identified key qualities of effective practitioners, including being motivated, dependable, resilient, and going above and beyond for fathers. The document calls on managers to better support
Symposium on findings from the PIECES project: Availability of Survey and Adm...BASPCAN
This document summarizes the findings of a survey of data availability on child violence across European Union member states and Norway. Key findings include:
- Data on child violence is highly fragmented at the national level, with different definitions, age groups, and classifications making comparison difficult.
- Most countries only have prevalence or incidence data for common forms of violence like physical and sexual abuse, with little data on other forms.
- National surveys on child violence exposure are infrequent, one-time only, and do not consistently include children as respondents.
- No countries have comprehensive data across all types of violence, settings, or age groups.
- Data sharing agreements between agencies are limited in most countries.

5 Ways to Win Over a Traditional MarketerJames Nichols
1) The document provides 5 tips for digital marketers to get traditional marketers on board with innovative digital programs: channel their inner Arthur Murray dance instructor to get them participating; do a "foot in the door" approach by selling the concept before budget; ensure tight strategic alignment; start with small test budgets rather than large commitments; and respect their experience and perspective.
2) It encourages digital marketers to teach digital concepts step-by-step, get traditional marketers hands-on with new technologies, sell the strategic value first before budget needs, and recognize traditional marketers' strengths and contributions.
3) The document is written by Jim Nichols, VP of Marketing at Apsalar, a company that
Holding back the avalanche: Managing demand in police reports of DV to child ...BASPCAN
1. The document discusses the challenge of managing high volumes of police referrals to child protection agencies regarding domestic violence cases.
2. It proposes implementing a "differential response" to filter cases according to severity and divert less severe cases away from the child protection system to improve efficiency while still ensuring child and mother safety.
3. Jurisdictions like Western Australia and New South Wales have had some success implementing differential response systems that direct only about 5% of domestic violence police reports to child protection.
Fathering, Child Protection and MBC programsBASPCAN
The document summarizes research from interviews with men who had used violence against their female partners, the partners, and workers at men's behavior change programs (MBCP).
Most men acknowledged the harm of their violence on their children and felt remorse. Their responsibility was often qualified by focusing on their own feelings. Two men took little responsibility. Children's safety and access were strong motivators for attending MBCP and changing for many men. However, men largely saw child protection agencies as adversaries. Women did not feel supported by child protection and it did little to create alliances. Stronger links between MBCP and child protection could increase accountability.
This document outlines a multi-agency protocol for tackling child sexual exploitation across Cheshire. It defines child sexual exploitation and the different types, including boyfriend models, gangs, organized networks, inappropriate relationships, familial and opportunistic exploitation. It emphasizes key principles such as child-centeredness and information sharing. The roles of multi-agency partners are to identify those at risk, conduct risk assessments, address risks through problem solving, safeguard victims, disrupt perpetrators, and provide early intervention. For new cases, agencies must take action to safeguard potential victims and make a record of concerns.
This document discusses young people who are at risk of sexual exploitation and outlines various initiatives to help protect them. It defines sexual exploitation of children and notes that those under 18 engaged in prostitution should be seen as victims. Risk factors for exploitation are identified as running away, abuse history, self-harm, substance abuse, and poor family/peer relationships. Meetings are held between professionals to share information on at-risk youth and abusers. Letters can be sent to discourage relationships between youth and older adults. Education sessions address relationships, abuse, stereotypes, and where to get help. One-on-one support focuses on safety, self-esteem, and protecting vulnerable youth.

focus is on the protection of anxious children from other chil-
dren with conduct difficulties or just garden-variety playground
insensitivity. There are some excellent websites that address
these issues1 and some recent Finnish longitudinal research2,3
that is the first of its kind, which broadly summarised says the
following:
1 There is a substantial increase in psychopathology in both
young men and women almost two decades after being fre-
quently bullied at age 8 years, with anxiety disorders,
depression and conduct disorder, all increased.
2 There is a substantial increase in psychopathology for both
young men and women almost two decades after doing the
bullying at age 8 years.
3 There is a substantial increase in suicide attempts and com-
pleted suicide in young adult women who have been fre-
quently bullied even after adjusting for depression and
conduct disorder.
4 There were increased rates of suicide and attempted suicide
in young men (including bullies, victims and boys who were
both bullies and victims at age 8 years), but the increase
disappeared when depression and conduct disorder were
taken into account.
There are at least five main emphases in the management of
bullying, which include the following:
1 Special targeting of girls who are frequently victimised for
prevention programmes may reduce completed suicide in
young adult women by up to 10%.3
2 Teaching children ways to avoid being bullied is likely to
be more effective than attempting to reducing bullying
behaviour.4
3 Teaching problem-solving skills and positive interaction skills
are likely to be as, or more, helpful than programmes that
emphasise rules and consequences to discourage bullying.4
4 Most interventions help a little if implemented thoroughly.
Most are not implemented thoroughly.
5 Cyber bullying must now be considered as part of the spec-
trum of bullying behaviour.1
However, I would like to be strategically obtuse for a moment
in order to address the problem without respect to children
alone and without the inevitable recourse to vulnerable targets
and less obviously, vulnerable perpetrators. These areas have
been discussed for so long in the literature and in the popular
wisdom that I do not believe I have anything new to offer.
Over the last 3 years, I have been working in the juvenile
detention centres in New South Wales, where around 400 chil-
dren at any one time, aged 10–18 years, are detained on remand
or with custodial orders. Over 90% are male and 50–60% indig-
enous. Those 20% with severe mental illness have an almost
90% recidivi.
Media coverage of violence against children in JamaicaTaitu Heron
This paper looks at how the Jamaican print media (the Observer, the Gleaner and the Star) depicts children who suffer from sexual abuse. It aims also to respond to the following question - How is the newspapers’ understanding of children and sexual violence against children informed by a current prevailing gender order, discourses on sexuality, and cultural attitudes and practices towards children?
The document discusses initiatives to address homophobia faced by LGBT youth in schools and informal settings. It describes the Exceeding Expectations initiative, a 3-year cross-sector partnership in Manchester funded by the city council and health service. The initiative aims to support schools through resources, training, and interventions to tackle homophobic bullying. It has commissioned a theatre production called "OUTLOUD" and conducted staff training, workshops, and surveys to promote inclusion and measure impact. Feedback from schools and pupils has been positive about raising awareness of LGBT issues and the unacceptable nature of homophobia.

Meanings of Bodily and Sexual Expression in Youth Sexting Culture:
Young Women’s Negotiation of Gendered Risks and Harms
Emily Setty1
Published online: 31 August 2018
# Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2018
Abstract
The present paper explores how young people construct gendered social meanings and cultural norms surrounding sexual and
bodily expression in youth sexting culture. Previous research suggests youth sexting is a gendered phenomenon in which young
men are able to seek social capital through sexting, whereas young women are subject to social shaming and harassment.
Drawing upon findings from group and one-to-one interviews with 41 young people aged 14–18, I show how constructs of risk,
shame, and responsibility operated along gendered lines. Young people attributed agency and legitimacy to young men’s sexual
practices, whereas young women were disempowered, denied legitimacy, and tasked with managing gendered risks of harm in
youth sexting culture. I discuss how young women negotiated and navigated risk and shame and, in some instances, made space
for safe, pleasurable sexting experiences despite and within these narratives. The accounts of two young women, who shared
experiences sexting and social shaming, are presented to show some of the ways young women make sense of social meani.
The document discusses the 25 year anniversary of the First Children's Embassy in Macedonia, which was founded to protect children's rights. It highlights some of their accomplishments, including changing laws to introduce chemical castration and longer prison sentences for pedophiles. It also discusses the most common issues children in Macedonia face, such as poverty, domestic violence, divorce, and sexual abuse. The founder recalls a memorable case where a young girl's loss of virginity after falling on a rolling pin was ruled an accident.

This document summarizes the partnership between the NSPCC and two universities to develop and evaluate an intervention for child sexual abuse called Letting the Future In (LTFI). It describes how NSPCC studies found a gap between need for therapeutic services for child sexual abuse victims and what was available. Practitioners then created LTFI which was piloted and implemented. An independent evaluation was commissioned including a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to rigorously evaluate LTFI's effectiveness. Overcoming challenges, the RCT recruited 242 children and was the largest of its kind. It aimed to provide high-quality evidence on LTFI's impact to inform practice and policy.

This document summarizes the findings of an evaluation of the FED UP program, which provides services to families where parents misuse drugs/alcohol. The evaluation found that the program was effective in reducing children's emotional and behavioral problems, improving their self-esteem, helping them process thoughts/feelings, and enhancing protective parenting. Key mechanisms of change included children feeling less alone and parents gaining insight into how their behavior impacts children. Barriers to the program included issues with group composition and family instability. The implications discussed expanding the program's reach and using data to improve outcomes for children.

Young People's Perspectives on Recognising and Telling about Abuse and NeglectBASPCAN
This document summarizes a study on young people's perspectives on recognizing and disclosing abuse and neglect. The study included a literature review, analysis of an online peer support site, and interviews with 30 vulnerable young people aged 11-20. It developed a framework for understanding how young people recognize, tell about, and get help for abuse, which influences practitioners. The framework shows recognition, telling, and help can be partial, hidden, signs-based, or purposeful. It also examines how related interventions can help symptoms or underlying causes, and influence trust, effectiveness, and duration of support over time. The implications are that practitioners should not rely on verbal disclosure, be sensitive to the challenges of telling, and see that recognition may come
WE MUST BE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT: CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE DISCLOSURE ACROSS THE DE...BASPCAN
This document summarizes a study comparing narratives of child sexual abuse disclosure between young people and adults. It found that young people were more likely to disclose due to a "pressure cooker effect" of emotions building up over time or being directly asked about signs of distress. In contrast, adults were more likely to blame themselves for the abuse and believed telling would make the situation worse. The study highlights the importance of creating an environment where children feel believed and supported to disclose abuse.
The document summarizes a study that examined informal and formal support structures for young people who experienced child abuse. 53 young women and 7 young men between ages 18-24 who reported extensive victimization were interviewed. On average, it took 7.8 years to disclose experiences of child sexual abuse. Most initial disclosures were to informal sources like family and friends. Barriers to disclosure included lack of knowledge that the abuse was wrong and lack of trusted adults. Missed opportunities for intervention were identified at the individual, family, community, and system levels. Key recommendations included providing youth appropriate information about relationships early on, communicating with youth directly and sensitively, and ensuring professionals notice signs of struggle and ask youth directly about their experiences.
The Parents Under Pressure (PuP) Program is a 12-module home-based parenting program that aims to reduce child abuse potential, parental stress, and child behavior problems. The modules can be addressed in any order based on family priorities and are supplemented by liaison with other social services. Studies have found the PuP program reduces child abuse potential, parental stress and improves child behavior, and for every 100 families treated there would be an estimated savings of AU$3.1 million.
Improving Decision-Making in Pre-birth Assessment: The OxPUP ProjectBASPCAN
This document summarizes the OxPUP (Oxford Pre-birth Pathway) project, which aims to improve decision-making in pre-birth assessments. It describes the OxPUP pathway, which involves identifying high-risk families during pregnancy and providing intervention. It also discusses tools used in pre-birth and postnatal assessments. The document presents two case studies, one where the child remained with their parents and one where the child was removed at birth. It finds that OxPUP cases had lower foster care costs and shorter court times compared to non-OxPUP cases.

2) Quantitative and qualitative data were collected pre, mid, and post intervention to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of PuP. Results showed reductions in depression, anxiety and stress levels as well as improvements in parent-child functioning.
3) Qualitative interviews found that PuP helped participants better understand how their childhood trauma and addiction had negatively impacted parenting, but also increased hope by providing mindfulness techniques and a supportive group environment.

Young advisors from over 100 teenagers aged 13-21 across several European countries were engaged to advise on a project about increasing safety regarding new technologies and intimate partner violence. The advisors provided input on developing the project website and materials. Challenges included low online discussion participation and high turnover of advisors. Strategies to address this included providing incentives, flexible timing of meetings, and discussing issues in new ways like drawing. Key issues were lack of advisor ownership of the online space and lack of direct cross-country discussions. Recommendations included giving advisors control of social media and enabling international meetings.

This document summarizes key findings from a study on young people's experiences with interpersonal violence and abuse both online and offline. The study included 100 interviews with young people ages 15-18 in several European countries. Key findings included:
1. Experiences of controlling behavior and surveillance both online and offline were normalized by some youth. This included pressure to share passwords and social media accounts.
2. Sending and receiving unwanted sexual images online was also normalized in some areas, though it caused distress for others, especially in tight-knit communities.
3. Both sexual pressure and physical/emotional violence occurred offline as well, with young women disproportionately impacted.
4. New technologies played a role

This document summarizes a study exploring intimate partner violence among young people in five European countries. The study uses a mixed-methods approach, including expert workshops, a survey of 4,500 14-17 year olds, interviews with 100 young people, and development of an app. The survey finds high rates of online and offline emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. Girls report more negative impacts than boys. Factors like family violence, bullying, and gendered attitudes predict greater risk. The study also examines sending and sharing of sexual images, finding it associated with greater intimate partner violence risk, especially for girls.

Babies on Top of the World: Early Intervention in the Indian Himalayas Part 2BASPCAN
In Dehradun district of Uttarakhand, India, with a population of 1.7 million people, only around 1800 have access to reliable quality professional services. Most pediatricians in the area have little awareness of the importance of early intervention for children. Developmental disabilities can be present from birth or acquired later in life due to factors like malnutrition, anemia, neglect, or lack of stimulation, and many acquired disabilities can be prevented by proper care and support during early childhood years.
Babies on Top of the World: Early Intervention in the Indian HimalayasBASPCAN
Babies On Top of the World documents early intervention programs for children with disabilities in remote areas of the Indian Himalayas run by the Latika Roy Foundation. The foundation operates 8 centers that serve over 300 children daily and monitors 500 high-risk infants annually, providing developmental assessments, therapy, and training parents and community health workers, though this still only reaches a small fraction of the estimated 66 million developmentally disabled children in India.
An Inclusive and Families Strengths Based Approach in Child ProtectionBASPCAN
This document discusses East Lothian Council's adoption of a strengths-based, inclusive approach to child protection called Signs of Safety. It notes key reports and legislation driving this change and outlines East Lothian's multi-year implementation process beginning in 2011 with workshops and establishing governance groups. This included introducing Signs of Safety for initial case conferences in 2013 and all conferences, supervision, and core groups by 2014. Feedback found professionals and families felt meetings were inclusive and addressed risks fully, though plans were sometimes incomplete. This led to a research project on making plans more specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-based.
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

Risk factors and indicators
Parents, typically kind of by the
nature of how we socialise
people, they’re not reporting
boys missing the same way
they would be reporting their
daughters missing. So there is
a lot more leeway before
anyone would realise a boy
was being exploited.
Service Manager, CSE service

His self-harming pattern was to pick
up a fight he knew he couldn't win so
he'd get beaten up to a pulp, and
then he would have that release and
that he would feel better, he could
cope better because he just couldn't
handle the emotional pain.

‘Trusted’ friend
• Use existing social network or ‘shared
interests’ to gain trust
– Gaming, football, DVDs
– Provide place to stay, alcohol and so on
OR
– Group/gang based (sense of belonging)
– Edges of legality (counterfeit cigarettes, drugs etc.)
• Present as heterosexual
– Encourage sexual activity (heterosexual adult
pornography for example)
16. Understanding the sexual exploitation
of boys and young men
The last thing they are thinking is that the
guy – certainly if it is heterosexual
pornography as well – the last thing they will
do is think they are going to abuse them. So
it is a very clever ploy
(Young men’s worker, CSE service).
17. Understanding the sexual exploitation
of boys and young men
Females as perpetrators
• Rarely perceived as exploitative
– By victims, professionals or society
– Enduring gender stereotypes: women cannot be
abusers; young men are ‘lucky’ if they have sexual
contact with older women
• Particularly hidden issue, examples of:
– Older women in ‘relationships’ with young boys and
men
– Women exchanging drugs, money, place to stay etc,
for sexual contact
– Damaging and confusing for victim, especially due
to lack of recognition
18. Understanding the sexual exploitation
of boys and young men
We’ve got to change that attitude. That’s a
young boy. Now the young boy this is
happening to, he has had a horrendous life,
so he is just looking at that as his girlfriend.
Somebody in this world that now loves him,
because he has never had that. Is she
exploiting him? Well, yeah. So what is that
doing to that young boy’s mind?
(CSE specialist police)
19. Understanding the sexual exploitation
of boys and young men
Risk to GBT and C young men
• Context of enduring homophobia
– Few ‘safe spaces’ or means to explore relationships
(literal and metaphorical)
• Isolation (particularly stigmatised among certain
groups or circumstances such as rural areas)
• Unlikely to discuss with friends/family
• Internet contact
• Contact may begin as ‘trusted’ friend
– Specifically exploring potential sexual relationship
– Exploitative in nature
20. Understanding the sexual exploitation
of boys and young men
If you remove the abuse, then the young person has the
opportunity to find out what their true sexuality is.
And you can't confuse the two.
You can't say somebody's gay because they're in a
sexually exploitative relationship. Remove the sexual
exploitation, then that gives them the freedom to make a
decision for themselves what sexuality they are.

A common thought amongst the public
generally, thought amongst boys and young
men [is that] to be abused […it] might say
something about you and your masculinity
as a boy, as a man – that you […] haven’t
protected yourself, that somebody has had
power over you. So to admit that, what’s that
going to say to others? – you lose face
(Service manager, CSE service).
24. Understanding the sexual exploitation
of boys and young men
What’s really difficult is we see a ‘victim’, but
if the other professionals around see them
as the perpetrator, it is what they’ve done
wrong, whether they’re aggressive, they’ve
been rude in school, they’ve assaulted a
peer, there’s criminal activity – there’s all
those negative kind of perpetrator labels
[associated with boys]
(Service manager, CSE service).

catch up and talk about how they feel.

Communication with boys
It’s this perception really that boys
don’t talk about things…that they deal
with their emotions differently…Boys
do and will engage and will talk about
things and can become quite
emotionally intelligent, if given the
opportunity. It's almost as if there's an
assumption that boys don’t and they
can't and they won't, so they don’t offer
it in the first place.

Next steps
Review how gender may obscure identification of CSE
Review how female perpetration can be better identified
Review how gender may influence vulnerability to CSE, as well
as individuals’ responses and support needs
Raise awareness – significant geographical variation
Areas for further research:
young men’s understandings and definitions of CSE,
evaluation of approaches to service provision with boys,
gendered understandings of vulnerability/risk and resilience,
analysis of monitoring / administrative data to assess ‘1 in 3’ stat.
