Available data suggest that
about 1 in 5 children
in Europe are victims of some form of sexual violence.
It is estimated that in 70% to 85% of cases, the abuser is somebody the child knows and trusts.
Child sexual violence can take many forms: sexual abuse within the family circle,
child pornography and prostitution, corruption, solicitation via
Internet and sexual assault by peers.
The ONE in FIVE campaign has two main
goals:
- to achieve further signature, ratification and implementation of the

- to equip children, their families/carers and societies at large with
the knowledge and tools to prevent and report sexual violence against children, thereby raising awareness of
its extent.
