This Evidence to Practice Session discusses how the digital world is shaping the sexual lives of young people in Aotearoa. Following a report commissioned by ACC, this seminar reveals the findings on harmful content, grooming, and sextortion, and shows how online material is reshaping attitudes, behaviours, and wellbeing. With international insights and practical recommendations, this presentation will explore why urgent, coordinated action is needed to keep children safe in the digital age - and how current inaction leaves New Zealand falling short of its obligations under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
