Új emlékérmét bocsátott ki az Ukrán Nemzeti Bank

Kárpátalja.ma (Ukrajna/Kárpátalja) - jeu, 03/09/2026 - 09:03

Az ukrán pénzreform 30. évfordulója alkalmából új emlékérmét bocsátott forgalomba az Ukrán Nemzeti Bank. Az 1 hrivnyás érme az ország nemzeti fizetőeszközének bevezetése előtt tiszteleg.

Az emlékérme 925-ös finomságú ezüstből készült, tiszta fémtartalma 31,1 gramm. Az érmét részleges aranyozással is díszítették. A különleges kiadásból legfeljebb 5000 darab készül.

Az érme egyik oldala a 2018-ban bevezetett, jelenleg is használatos 1 hrivnyás fémpénz dizájnját idézi. Ezen Ukrajna kis állami címere, egy régi rusz ornamentika, valamint az Ukrajna és az 1 hrivnya felirat látható. Az érmén feltüntették a 2026-os kibocsátási évet és az Ukrán Nemzeti Bank logóját is.

A másik oldal a legelső, 1 hrivnya névértékű érme megjelenését idézi, amelyet fokozatosan vonnak ki a forgalomból. Az érme közepén stilizált ágak által körülvett 1 hrivnya felirat, alul pedig az 1996-os évszám szerepel, utalva az ukrajnai pénzreform évére.

A különleges emlékérme így egyesíti a hrivnya történetének két korszakát.

Az ukrajnai pénzreform 1996. szeptember 2. és 16. között zajlott. Ebben az időszakban az állampolgárok korlátozás nélkül válthatták át a korábbi kupon-karbovanecet az új nemzeti fizetőeszközre.

Szeptember 17-től a hrivnya Ukrajna egyetlen törvényes fizetőeszközévé vált.

Egy nyolcgyermekes család talált menedéket Kárpátalján

Újabb, a háború sújtotta térségből menekülő nagycsalád talált biztonságos menedékre Kárpátalján.

A nyolc gyermeket nevelő család a Donyeck megyei Avgyijivkából érkezett megyénkbe. A Jakovljev család 2024-ben kényszerült elhagyni otthonát az orosz–ukrán háború miatt, ezt követően a Kijev megyei Taraszivkában telepedtek le.

A térség biztonsági helyzetének romlása miatt azonban ismét menekülni kényszrültek. A családot a Beregkövesdi kistérséghez tartozó Árdánházán helyezték el. A következő időszakban a gyermekek oktatási intézményekben történő elhelyezése következik.

Miroszlav Bileckij, Kárpátalja megye kormányzója közleményében hangsúlyozta: a régió továbbra is biztonságos hátországként igyekszik segítséget és menedéket nyújtani azoknak, akik a háború miatt kénytelenek elhagyni otthonukat.

UNICEF Report Underscores Rising Rates of Tech-Facilitated Sexual Abuse Targeting Children

Africa - INTER PRESS SERVICE - jeu, 03/09/2026 - 08:27

By Oritro Karim
UNITED NATIONS, Sep 3 2026 (IPS)

A new report from UNICEF finds that approximately 1 in 5 of all children surveyed reported facing tech-facilitated sexual abuse or exploitation in a single year.

In the past two decades, digital technologies and spaces have become intertwined with all aspects of daily life, introducing new risks to children’s safety, particularly for children in protracted crises.

Largely driven by persistent structural barriers among tech platforms and governments, rampant underreporting, and a critical lack of protection frameworks and support services for victims, tech-facilitated sexual exploitation continues to have long-term adverse impacts on millions of children while fostering an environment of impunity for perpetrators.

These factors were examined in detail in a new report from the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), titled Through Children’s Eyes: How Digital Technologies Enable Child Sexual Abuse, which draws upon findings collected across 21 countries.

“More than 20 million children across the countries studied were subjected to unwanted explicit sexual content or exploitation online, often in the digital spaces where they learn, play, and connect with friends,” said UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell. “These experiences cause profound emotional and mental distress. Many children suffer in silence, unsure where to turn for help. We cannot look away.”

Children subjected to tech-facilitated abuse and exploitation face heightened risks of adverse mental health conditions, many of which are long-term and can significantly affect their social development. The report notes that victims were roughly four times more likely to report self-harm, suicidal thoughts and behaviours, and elevated levels of anxiety. In Mexico and North Macedonia, UNICEF stated that the risk of suicidal ideation among children was around eight times higher when compared to the global average, while in Pakistan, the risk of self-harm was about seven times higher.

Additionally, social workers and psychologists interviewed by UNICEF reported numerous cases of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among victims, which is associated with difficulty trusting others or forming new relationships, worsened school performance, developing substance abuse conditions, or engaging in harmful or risky behaviours.

It is estimated that roughly 60 percent of all cases recorded by UNICEF occurred on social media and 14 percent occurred in online gaming. Approximately half of all social media-facilitated abuse took place on Facebook, with considerable percentages also found on WhatsApp, Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok. 57 percent of these cases involved a perpetrator who was already known to the victim, while in 9 of the 21 surveyed countries, the perpetrator was another child.

UNICEF experts warn that the true scale of tech-facilitated sexual exploitation far exceeds reported figures due to widespread underreporting. Fewer than 1 percent of cases were reported to law enforcement or support service personnel, while roughly 4 in 10 cases were never disclosed to anyone.

The primary reasons victims avoid disclosing abuse include fear of harassment or not being taken seriously, persisting social stigmas surrounding survivors of sex-based crimes, and children simply not knowing about or not having access to adequate psychosocial support and justice programs. This often results in a culture of impunity for perpetrators while facilitating future exploitation.

For example, girls who are victims of tech-facilitated sexual abuse are often blamed or shamed by their communities, particularly in contexts with rigid patriarchal structures.

“There were many [challenges]. Mainly in my social environment, something that worried me a lot was how to relate to society after what happened,” said a young woman from Mexico who was a victim of tech-facilitated sexual abuse. “I did not know how they would react if I told them what happened to me; I was afraid of facing that. Well, the school environment too…Mainly it affects my emotional health; it made me feel depression and anxiety.”

On the other hand, when boys share that they have experienced tech-facilitated sexual abuse, their accounts are often minimized, and they are expected to cope quietly. Oftentimes, perpetrators also use threats of revealing or falsely implying a boy’s sexual orientation as a means of extortion.

Although tech-facilitated sexual abuse and exploitation affect children everywhere regardless of geography or income level, perpetrators often weaponize economic vulnerability. Children living in conflict or crisis-entrenched settings are at a heightened risk, as protection, support, and justice systems are severely strained. Daniel Kardefelt-Winther, the head of UNICEF’s research programme on Children and Digital Technologies, told Inter Press Service that risk is shaped by a range of factors, including economic circumstances, children’s relationships, and access to support services.

“Perpetrators may exploit the economic hardship some children face by offering money or gifts in exchange for sexual images or videos,” says Kardefelt-Winther, who is also the leader author of the report. “Economic need can make it difficult for children to refuse these offers, while some may not initially recognise the experience as abuse precisely because money or other benefits are being provided in return.”

Kardefelt-Winther adds that the consequences of tech-facilitated abuse can oftentimes leave digital spaces entirely, translating to real-world security risks for millions of children. For example, some children described being contacted online by strangers who coerced or deceived children into meeting in person, where they were subsequently sexually abused. In other cases, perpetrators obtained sexual images of a child and used them to blackmail children into meeting in person.

In an effort to combat tech-based harm affecting children, several countries have enacted or proposed limitations on social media access for minors, including Australia in December 2025, as well as Brazil, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the United Arab Emirates throughout 2026. Further legislation is pending in France, the United Kingdom, Greece, Canada, Denmark, and Turkey.

These efforts have proven to be quite controversial. Tech platforms warn that these measures risk user privacy, whereas youth groups argue that the restrictions infringe on free speech and isolate young people from their communities. Furthermore, human rights groups state that restricting social media for minors is not the solution, arguing that substantial protection only results from changes to platform algorithms and safety frameworks.

Kardefelt-Winther remarked that governments have good reason to be concerned with the risks that children face online, including bullying and exploitation. “Children are growing up in a digital world that was not designed with their rights, safety and wellbeing in mind…Age restrictions may play a role in keeping children safe, but on their own they do not address the underlying drivers of harm. They may even push children into less regulated spaces.”

He added: “UNICEF is calling for stronger protections for children, including safer platforms, better reporting systems, and more support for mental health services. We also want children to be part of shaping the solutions. Protecting children online is a shared responsibility, and governments, companies, families, and communities all have a role to play.”
