Online spaces were not created or designed with children in mind. Children are exposed to all kinds of content on the internet, and interact with strangers daily. As the internet is now ubiquitous in the lives of our children and new technologies emerge rapidly, what can we do to keep them safe from online child sexual violence?

In this episode our guests discuss:

How technology facilitates violence against and exploitation of children, but also how we can use it to fight against these practices.
The responsibilities of tech companies, the importance of coordinated efforts across sectors, and the necessity for evidence-based interventions.
The uncomfortable reality that if we want to fully address the issue, we also need to understand what drives the demand, while supporting people at risk of perpetrating these crimes.

Our guests are:

Shailey Hingorani, Head of Policy, Advocacy and Research, at WeProtect Global Alliance

Amy Crocker, Head of Child Protection and Technology, at ECPAT International

Your hosts are:

Elizabeth Dartnall, Executive Director, SVRI

Ayesha Mago, Global Advocacy Director, SVRI
