September 2020] The EndOCSEA@Europe project is implemented by the Children’s Rights
Division of the Council of Europe, in co-operation with the Cybercrime Office
(C-PROC) in Bucharest, Romania. To support member
states to prevent and combat OCSEA, the Council of Europe has launched a new
project “End Online Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse @ Europe” (EndOCSEA@Europe). This project seeks to address the
contextual challenges identified at pan-European and country levels by
promoting, facilitating and supporting national efforts and actions to
prevent and combat OCSEA. This project will support global efforts in this
area, including actions towards SDG 16.2 and SDG 5.2 as well as the
implementation of relevant international and European standards, in
particular the Council of Europe Convention on the Protection of Children
against Sexual Exploitation and Sexual Abuse (Lanzarote Convention), and 8 of
the capabilities identified in the WePROTECT Model

September 2020] 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 phenomena of missing children has many links to sexual
abuse and exploitation. Runaways who make up the majority of missing children
cases, for example, often leave home or care institutions because of abusive
situations, because of grooming, or end up becoming victims of abuse and
exploitation once on the streets. Child sexual abuse

September 2020] Child sexual abuse
and exploitation are significant problems in Europe today and it is estimated
that between 10% and 20% of children are sexually assaulted during their
childhood. There are many forms of abuse including incest, prostitution,
pornography, date rape, peer sexual violence and institutional sexual abuse,
and all are considered abnormal sexual behaviour.
Since the 1996 Stockholm World Congress considerable progress has been made
in developing measures to combat the sexual abuse and exploitation of
children but there is still a long way to go, particularly because the crime
usually happens in private and victims are often threatened or sworn to
secrecy. All
