The Office of the eSafety Commissioner (Australia), Netsafe (New Zealand) and UK Safer Internet Centre with the University of Plymouth (UK) have collaborated on research culminating in this report on young people’s experience of sending and sharing nude and nearly nude images, otherwise known as sexting. For the purposes of this report, sexting is defined as any act or practice related to sending, receiving, requesting or being asked for mostly, but not always, self-generated nude or nearly nude images or video through digital tools and/or platforms. Such behaviour may arise for a range of reasons and contexts (e.g., consensual or non-consensual creation or sharing, flirting or relationship building, sexual self-exploration, coercion or extortion of content, intimidation and other abuse). This work builds on jointly presented research by these agencies at the inaugural Online Safety on the Edge conference in Sydney on 3 November 2017 which was co-hosted by the Office of the eSafety Commissioner and Netsafe New Zealand. The purpose of this shared research is to better understand the: • prevalence of sending and sharing of both solicited and unsolicited nude or nearly nude images or videos, and • young people’s influences and motivations for this behavior. (From the introduction). 1,001 14-17 year olds participated in the New Zealand survey. Two specific objectives guided the New Zealand study. First, the study sought to gain an understanding of the prevalence and extent of sending/receiving/sharing nude or nearly nude images or videos among teens aged 14-17 years old. Second, it sought to identify differences in terms of gender, age, disability, and ethnic groups. The Office for Disability Issues has provided further analysis of disabled teens' experiences of sexting - follow the link. (From the document).
