Sexual exploitation of minors involves children being used in sexual acts, whether real or simulated, with a third party benefiting from this exploitation, often in exchange for remuneration or in-kind benefits, promised or given. This heinous crime demands urgent action and must be eradicated. Together, we must protect children from all forms of exploitation, both in the real world and online. #ChildProtection #EndExploitation #CyberSafety #OnlineSafety #ProtectOurChildren #StopChildAbuse #EndChildTrafficking #ChildRights #JusticeForChildren #OnlineChildAbusePrevention #CombatChildSexTrafficking #OnlineChildSafety #PreventOnlineGrooming #DigitalSafetyForKids #ProtectChildrenOnline #StopCSAM

Online familial child exploitation cases are increasing in both developed and developing countries. In such situations, a family member may exploit a child, sometimes justifying it as a means of survival or necessity. This exploitation can involve producing and distributing child sexual exploitation material or trafficking the child for sexual purposes. This severe and tragic form of abuse highlights the complex dynamics and devastating impact of exploitation within families, bridging both offline and online realms to harm children. Join us in raising awareness and taking a stand against all forms of online child exploitation. Together, we can make a difference and protect our children. #ChildProtection #EndExploitation #ChildSafety #OnlineSafety #HumanRights #StopTrafficking #protectourchildren

#Jordan held its national preparatory consultation today for the First Global Ministerial Conference on Ending Violence Against Children (Bogotá, 7-8 Nov 2024). Dr. Najat Maalla M’jid, UN Special Representative on #ViolenceAgainstChildren, opened it with a video message.

AI companions, such as chatbots, virtual assistants, and virtual friends, when misused, can become powerful tools for exploiters to target and groom children. These AI systems, designed to simulate human interaction, are being leveraged by exploiters to target and groom children at an alarming scale. Detecting and combating AI-driven exploitation requires advanced forensic tools and collaboration between law enforcement, tech companies, and private sector partners. We must share intelligence and coordinate efforts to disrupt these sophisticated networks. Join us in raising awareness and demanding accountability from tech companies, including AI companies, to ensure safety by design in their products and services. Together, we can stop all forms of online child trafficking, including those driven by evolving technologies like AI. #AIDangers #ChildProtection #OnlineSafety #EndExploitation #TechForGood #AI #CyberSecurity #DigitalSafety #StopOnlineGrooming #ProtectOurChildren

🌟 Empowering Child Protection Professionals 🌟 We are honored to provide bilingual training courses in Spanish and English to the dedicated professionals at His House Children's Home including those serving in their unaccompanied minor program. These trainings are crucial to reducing the vulnerabilities of children to exploitation, both offline and online. Research shows that early intervention and increased awareness among caregivers are key to preventing child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA). Our programs equip professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to detect signs of online child exploitation, enabling swift and effective responses. Participants gained valuable insights, inter alia, into various forms of online child victimization. Understanding these risks and offender methods is critical to empowering professionals to protect the children in their care. At HTF, we are privileged to work alongside His House in building capacity of those who serve vulnerable children and youth. Their unwavering commitment to safeguarding minors from abuse and exploitation aligns with our shared vision of a world where every child is safe. For our founder and executive director, Dr. Beatriz Susana Uitts, this collaboration is especially meaningful. Having served at His House's unaccompanied minor program more than a decade ago, she has a deep connection to this organization. Returning to contribute to this cause is both an honor and a homecoming for all of us at HTF. These professionals are now better equipped to prevent, intervene, and support children at risk.
