Abstract
"SOS-Kinderdorf and Rat auf Draht commissioned the Institute for Youth Culture Research to collect data on sexual harassment and violence among children and young people on the internet throughout Austria for the first time and to conduct a representative survey among 400 children and young people aged 11 to 18. In-depth interviews were conducted with 6 young people." (SOS-Kinderdorf, 2020, online; translated by the coder)
