(ANSA) - BRUSSELS, MAY 11 - "Today we propose legislation that will allow Europe to be at the forefront of the fight against online sexual violence. The Council of Europe says that one in five children is a victim of sexual abuse and only in 2021 they are 85 million images and videos have been posted online showing these abuses. We are not protecting our children and we cannot continue. To the perpetrators of these crimes I say: Europe will hunt you down. "
This was stated by Ylva Johansson, European Commissioner for Home Affairs, presenting the package on children's rights and on the fight against sexual abuse on the internet.
