Survivors united, children protected: campaigning for a sexual violence-free internet.
Children deserve to be safe, protected and supported to thrive – at home, in schools and online. Sexual violence against children – perpetrated both offline and online – is on the rise all over the world. In our increasingly digital world, protecting children from sexual violence requires building a safer internet.
Our campaign – centered in the experience and knowledge of survivors of childhood sexual violence – is fighting to ensure that the digital world is re-designed and made safe for children. Working with tech companies and governments, and collaborating with partners and allies, we will improve practices and ensure they design a world where every child is safe from sexual violence online.
The escalating crisis of online child sexual exploitation and abuse is not just a challenge, it is a pandemic. We need urgent transformative action to end online child sexual exploitation and abuse.
The digital world has amplified children’s exposure to sexual exploitation and abuse, exposing children to unprecedented risks.

- Legislation and regulation
- Funding
- Centering the perspectives of children, victims and survivors in the response
- Building public and institutional awareness.
