June 27th Free Webinar - Journal Special Issue: Global Insights on the Sexual Exploitation of Boys
This free, 90-minute virtual session will highlight our desire to showcase Global South and practitioners’ perspectives that have less voice in academic space.
On June 27th 2023, a special issue of the International Journal of Child Abuse & Neglect will be published entitled “Global Insights on the Sexual Exploitation of Boys”. The issue includes a global systematic scoping literature review featuring publications from 38 countries, along with four papers presenting new empirical data, a discussion article, and a commentary. The majority of the papers are focused on the sexual exploitation of boys in lower- and middle-income countries.
This webinar provides a further opportunity to disseminate this important collection of findings to a global audience of practitioners, researchers and child protection experts. During the symposium, four authors will present their papers followed by a panel discussion chaired by the guest editors, Ana-Maria Buller and Mark Kavenagh.
