Global Threat Assessment 2019

Working together to end the sexual exploitation of children online

We assess that the scale of the problem, both in absolute terms and in terms of reports to law enforcement and civil society, is increasing at an alarming rate. And behind every one of these cases there is a child who needs to be safeguarded and supported.

This “tsunami” of cases is increasing the burden on every pillar of the WePROTECT Global Alliance: governments, law enforcement, civil society and the technology industry. As internet connectivity grows, particularly in the Global South, offenders are able to find and exploit new victims.
