New York: (RightNow) UNICEF has launched a social media service to protect children and teenagers from sexual blackmailing. This service provides assistance on platforms frequently used by children.

According to UNICEF, children who fall victim to sexual blackmailing often suffer in silence. They are either unaware of how to seek help or remain quiet due to embarrassment.

UNICEF has raised awareness about this threat and experts have identified new strategies to tackle it. This service is crucial for supporting both children and parents.

This issue is significant as it impacts children’s lives. Due to shame, fear, and anxiety, some children may even resort to suicide.

It is important to note that in sextortion, perpetrators demand sexual content or money. Parents must openly communicate with their children to prevent them from becoming victims.
