Thorn’s CSAM Classifier identifies new and unreported child sexual abuse material (CSAM) swiftly, allowing officers to find and remove victims from harm faster. Its state-of-the-art machine learning processes more files faster than a human could do manually, transforming child protection efforts. Thorn’s CSAM Classifier not only accelerates investigations but also helps uncover the full extent of CSAM in possession, enabling prosecutors to seek appropriate sentencing that reduces the time that the abuser is out in the world potentially harming kids. Learn how this powerful solution is changing the game in child protection. https://lnkd.in/e38qeMVJ

Big New Report: Today, my colleagues and I at Stanford Internet Observatory, led by Shelby Grossman, are publishing a comprehensive report about the CyberTipline, the pipeline by which platforms report child sex abuse material (CSAM) they find on their services. The report analyzes what works and what doesn’t, and makes recommendations - some technical, some political - for improving a 26-year-old system that has become indispensable in the fight against online child sexual exploitation.?We based the report on dozens of interviews we’ve conducted since last summer with stakeholders from across the reporting ecosystem: platforms, law enforcement, prosecutors, criminal defense attorneys, child safety groups, and NCMEC, the organization that operates the CyberTipline. Much has been written about the CyberTipline, but we think our report is unprecedented. In January, NCMEC hosted us for a 3-day site visit at their HQ that gave us a level of access to their work that we’re pretty sure has never before been granted to outside researchers. We are grateful to NCMEC, as well as the 60-plus other individuals who generously gave us their time for interviews over the last 9 months. This report would not have been possible without all of them. Read the report: https://lnkd.in/gzpnQaGm Join us for a launch webinar today at 9am PT: https://lnkd.in/gKkUrvYA

Light The Way End Human Trafficking The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) invites faith and secular communities to stand with us during National Human Trafficking Awareness month?‐ January 2024. DFPS has made the fight against human trafficking a priority, and strives to improve awareness, services, and prevention efforts to eradicate trafficking in Texas. WHAT IS HUMAN TRAFFICKING? Human trafficking is modern-day slavery and involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to obtain labor or commercial sex. Every year, millions of men, women, and children are trafficked in countries around the world. This serious crime is not just a problem in other countries – it is also happening in the United States in urban, suburban, and rural areas. The Participation Guide for Human Trafficking Prevention Month provides ideas that anyone can do ‐ individuals, groups, organizations, businesses, and communities of faith. This guide provides a variety of activities hosted by DFPS, and highlights efforts and information from the Governor’s Office and the Office of Attorney General, as well as, the Blue Campaign. This Guide by no means captures all of the anti‐trafficking work and January activities that are happening in the great State of Texas. Please feel free to research and participate in your local community’s events. ? Answer the call Learn and understand the signs of Human Trafficking. ?

The Children In The Pictures?documentary, aired in Australia in 2021 and in the UK on?Channel 4?January 2024, takes us into Task Force Argos, a renowned Australian-based police investigative team, as they go undercover to rescue children from online sexual abuse.? We applaud the Argos team – and all law enforcement focused on child sexual abuse. Their work is essential for detecting and stopping offenders and finding child victims. However, there are also many efforts to prevent harm from occurring in the first place. The essential work of law and enforcement agencies, as depicted by the documentary, cannot be the only weapon to be used in this battle. We must take proactive actions to encourage people to seek help for their worrying thoughts, feelings and behaviours.?Projects like #2PS and other initiatives aim to run parallel to law enforcement efforts, reinforcing prevention against #CSAE.? Our experts tried to answer the questions and challenges the documentary raises. Read the #2PS statement here below and learn more about our next steps to contribute to raising awareness on the importance of prevention. https://lnkd.in/db4pftaD #protectchildren #csaeprevention #stopchildabuse

The OCSAE team demonstrates that properly trained professionals respond better to victims of tech-assisted CSA. Unfortunately our practice shows that too few victims are responded to by such specialist services. We must do better. Read the HMICFRS report here: https://bit.ly/4897NBP "We are also concerned about how many officers & staff use victim-blaming language that implies (intentionally or unintentionally) a child is partially or wholly responsible for abuse that has happened to them" This is unacceptable. A child is never responsible for their abuse. "We also found many missed opportunities to identify suspects and disrupt their activity, and to carry out evidence-led prosecutions." It is only by disrupting the activity of perpetrators and calling them to account that we will ever start to turn the tide on child sexual abuse "The voice of children was often absent in the cases we reviewed. But we did see some good examples of when officers and staff had taken the time to understand children’s experiences and record them." Victims and survivors are experts in their own experience. Listen to them.

??? World Day for the Prevention of and Healing from Child Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Violence | 18 November Officially recognised by the United Nations in 2022, this day represents decades of tireless advocacy by survivors, allies, and advocates to shine a light on the prevalence of child sexual violence and to mobilise global action for prevention, justice, and healing. In 2024, the theme is: “Emerging technologies: threats and opportunities for the protection of children from sexual exploitation and sexual abuse.” Technology plays a complex role in child protection. While it presents unprecedented challenges, such as the proliferation of online child sexual exploitation (CSE), it also offers powerful tools to detect and prevent these crimes. At ICMEC Australia, we boldly confront the often-avoided issue of online CSE by supporting and strengthening professionals who detect, report, prosecute, and prevent these crimes. Globally, children are disproportionately vulnerable to sexual exploitation, abuse, and violence—risks that increase in times of crisis, such as conflicts, pandemics, and climate disasters. Girls, in particular, face heightened dangers. With collaboration, innovation, and a commitment to action, we can break the cycle of violence and build a future where every child is safe, protected, and empowered to thrive. https://lnkd.in/gX3Sx2kv https://lnkd.in/gifkBfrM #WorldDayForChildProtection #EmergingTechnologies #PreventViolence #SupportSurvivors #KeepKidsSafe

BREAKING: A new report from Childlight Global Child Safety Institute reveals the world's first estimate of the scale of online child sexual abuse and exploitation. The report, Into the Light, is based on more than 10 years of data and highlights that one in eight children – 302 million young people – have experienced online sexual abuse and exploitation. More than 36 million reports of online sexual images of children who fell victim to all forms form of sexual exploitation and abuse were filed in 2023 -- the equivalent of one report every single second. Our proprietary technology finds child sexual abuse material online and allows law enforcement agencies to identify the users downloading and sharing it -- and we offer our technology for free to law enforcement officers around the globe. In our 11 years of operation, our technology has aided in the arrest of more than 15,300 child predators and the rescue of more than 3,500 innocent children. Will you take a stand with us against this growing epidemic? Give today to keep our technology free and protect children worldwide. https://lnkd.in/gmE4guR Read the full report: https://lnkd.in/e86ryNZX

Akhim Dev introduced us to this documentary 8 months ago, and we started discussing how relevant it is to the prevention of child sexual abuse and exploitation #CSAE. Dev presented a shortened version of the production at last year's Policing Institute for the Eastern Region #PIER23 event, where Simon Bailey opened the conference by saying: We can't arrest our way out of the CSAE problem. That's true. The scale of the problem is huge. Of course, we must continue to improve law enforcement's response, but by enhancing our prevention efforts, we can also stop abuse from happening in the first place! Not all child sexual abuse is inevitable, it can be preventable. By preventing abuse, we prevent victims.

Join with us in supporting the Protect Act (Senate bill 3718), which equips our ICAC teams with better parameters for investigating and possibly preventing online child sexual exploitation. This article sheds light on just how rampant these horrific crimes are, and the worldwide need to support our law enforcement professionals in their pursuit to keep our children safe. https://lnkd.in/g4ApumjZ
