Child with a phone

IWF Awareness Campaigns

Child sexual abuse has a devastating impact on survivor’s lives and we’re here to help stop the revictimisation they experience every time images or videos of that abuse are shared, sold or viewed online. In conjunction with national and international partners in the private and public sector, we regularly run campaigns aimed at raising awareness of child sexual abuse online, how to report it and how it can be prevented.

Here you’ll find out more about current and past campaigns and learn how you can support us in our mission to eliminate child sexual abuse images and videos online.
