The figures come from the Media Authority’s report, which was published recently. Much of the reason may be the combination of an “increasingly sexualized culture” and that children and young people largely communicates with pictures, explains Kaja Hegg of Save the Children told VG.
– The case of a children and youth who act to show off. Social media used to flirting, to get attention and to find girlfriend, she said.
But also Hegg makes it clear that not only is the desired attention behind the exchange of images.
– It can also happen as a result of great pressure. Sexualized venues pose a risk to children and may lead to a form of normalization of sending pictures, and there is extreme pressure on both boys and girls in society today. It is no wonder that young people have problems to understand the limits and understand the consequences, says Hegg, who is a sociologist and Save the Children adviser for abuse on the Internet.
Justice Minister Anders Anundsen (FRP) believes the proliferation of private, intimate pictures is “the ultimate breach of trust.” He recalls that such sharing is also criminal.
– It is therefore important and right to report, saying Anundsen.
