ONE IN EIGHT CHILDREN FACE HARM, WORLD’S FIRST GLOBAL ESTIMATE FINDS
LONDON, May 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Over 300 million children are subjected to online sexual exploitation and abuse globally, with several parts of Africa identified as areas of concern.
With files containing sexual images of children are reported worldwide once every second, the authors stated that pupils “in every classroom, in every school, in every country” are victims of this “hidden pandemic”.
It indicates that one in eight, or 12.6%, of the world’s children have endured past year experience of non-consensual taking, sharing, and exposure to sexual images and video, amounting to about 302 million young people.
Additionally, 12.5% of children globally (300 million) were subject in the past year to online solicitation, including unwanted sexual talk, non-consensual sexting, and unwanted sexual questions or act requests by adults or other youths.

More than a decade later, that wave has held off, but the current is moving swiftly in that direction.

Key Points:

More than a decade later, that wave has held off, but the current is moving swiftly in that direction.
In less than a week, three major moves occurred that would have been unthinkable prior to the Gaza War.
The prosecutor, Karim Khan KC, also sought warrants for three Hamas leaders for atrocities committed during and after October 7.
There has also been increasing criticism of Netanyahu and his failure to articulate a “day after” strategy for Gaza, including from within his own war cabinet.

Digging in

Israeli officials were quick to reject the ICJ ruling, and Netanyahu called the ICC warrants a “moral outrage”.
Netanyahu has been clear that Israel will keep fighting until its aims are met.
The series of international moves is also likely to produce a doubling down of support for Israel from the Biden administration.

This is the first case of any entity lodging a case at the ICC for genocide of Armenians, and it comes days before the April 24 annual commemoration of the World War I-era genocide in which Ottomans killed 1.5 million Armenians.
"The ICC should send a clear message that there will be no impunity for such crimes and those responsible for genocide will be held accountable."
Aliyev himself said as top officials in Baku celebrated the forced displacement of Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh.

How Israel continues to censor journalists covering the war in Gaza

Key Points:

That is the hallmark of a dictatorship, not a democracy.” As well as restrictions on media access to Gaza, particular broadcasters face other restrictions.
At the start of April Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu had proclaimed he would “act immediately to stop” Qatar-based broadcaster Al Jazeera’s operations inside Israel.
Israel’s parliament passed a bill allowing it to close Al Jazeera’s office in Israel, block its website and ban local channels from using its coverage.
The CPJ said on April 20 that at least 97 journalists and media workers were among the more than 34,000 people killed since the war began.

Access to Gaza

However, journalists’ organisations and the correspondents themselves have been lobbying for access to Gaza for months now.
The BBC’s international editor Jeremy Bowen, also speaking in Perugia, confirmed that it had been a really difficult story to cover, principally, “because the main meat of it – which is what’s happening in Gaza, we can’t get close to”.
This has given journalists access to the West Bank and enabled coverage of settler violence against the local Palestinian population, but not to Gaza.
CNN’s Clarissa Ward was the first foreign journalist who made it into Gaza without the army, and she did this by accompanying an aid convoy supported by the United Arab Emirates in December 2023.

Israeli media coverage

Within Israel, the media are mostly publishing the IDF version of events unchallenged.
According to Israeli journalist and activist Anat Saragusti: “Hebrew-speaking Israelis watching television news are not exposed at all to what’s going on in Gaza.
In the same article, cultural commentator and academic David Gurevitz claimed the numbers of Palestinians killed remains an abstract concept for many Israelis: “The Israeli audience isn’t capable of accommodating two kinds of pain together, seeing and identifying with the human victim of the other side as such, and the media follow suit.” This argument was backed up this month by Israeli journalist Yossi Klein who wrote: “The most taboo number in Israel is 34,000.
