Defining problems
A core goal of the Alliance is to identify and solve specific and often complex problems that contribute to child sexual exploitation and abuse online.
As a cross-sectoral Alliance, there is scope to bring together actors from technology companies, governments, civil society and other sectors to generate new ideas and solutions.
All sectors in the Alliance have a role to play in identifying and developing responses to problems. This includes policy and regulatory responses, technology, civil society campaigns, awareness raising, support services and behavioural change.
