Experts from law enforcement， research and academia gathered at a United Nations meeting in Vienna to search for methods to tackle the children exploitation online.
“The exploitation of children is not a new phenomenon， but the digital age has exacerbated the problem and created more vulnerability to children，” said Yury Fedotov， the Executive Director of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime （UNODC）.
Through the Internet， online predators can gain an easy access to children in a faster way by using chat rooms， emails， online games and social networking sites. Cyberspace has also significantly increased the availability of child sex abuse materials.
Experts agreed that better education and awareness are essential to protecting children and emphasized that parents must work to overcome the ‘generational digital divide’ and take a vested interest in the technology they give their children， educating them on their safe use and on the potential ramifications of careless online behaviour.
