Abstract

The online sexual exploitation (OSE) of children and adolescents is an emerging global concern, particularly following the increase in Internet and social media utilisation among schoolchildren during the COVID-19 pandemic. Numerous empirical studies have investigated the factors affecting children’s and adolescents’ seeking help for this problem in Tanzania. However, whether their explanations can be applied to understand similar cases in the cyberspace remain uncertain.
