695 children were victims of sexual abuse in 2024
According to information from Ukraine’s juvenile prosecutors, published by the Office of the Prosecutor General, 695 children were victims of sexual abuse in 2024
Age distribution:
- The largest group of victims were children aged 10–14 years — 57%
- Teenagers aged 15–18 years — 23%
- Children under 5 years old — 3%
- Children aged 5–9 years — 17%
By gender:
- 85% were girls
- 15% were boys

These numbers are just the tip of the iceberg, as many cases remain unreported due to fear, war, social taboos, and a lack of trust in the system.
These are not just statistics — behind each one is a shattered childhood.
How to help?
- Talk to children about safety.
- Respond to suspicious situations.
- Spread the word so more people know how to protect children.
Childhood should be safe. Together, we can stop violence!
