On January 21st (3pm SAST), this 90-minute webinar explored how expanding our understanding of childhood sexual violence (CSV) perpetration – particularly adolescent harmful sexual behaviour across offline, online, and blended spaces – can strengthen prevention efforts in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

Building on the Shared Research Agenda on CSV in LMICs, the session highlighted priority evidence gaps, emerging research on perpetration, prevalence and prevention, and promising practices from LMIC contexts, including Brazil, India, and the Philippines. Speakers also examined ethical, social, and legal considerations when working with young people at risk of causing harm.

This webinar was organised by the SVRI, MOORE – Preventing Child Sexual Abuse, UNICEF – Office of Strategy and Evidence Innocenti, and The Safe Futures Hub
