And most significantly, the incidence of child sex abuse has fallen considerably since 1989, when child pornography became readily accessible – a phenomenon also seen in Denmark and Japan.

The Hague - The Netherlands. Europol launches Project HAVEN – Halting Europeans Abusing Victims in Every Nation. The initiative was launched at Europol’s annual meeting of Child Sexual Exploitation Experts and aims to detect and disrupt European travelling sex offenders that exploit local children in destination countries.

A large majority of individuals engaging in child sex tourism are paedophiles who travel from developed countries to exploit the most vulnerable children, who are generally found in areas of low income.
