We work to end child sexual abuse imagery online. Founded in 1996, we now give more than 2.6bn people from 53 countries a safe place to report online child sexual abuse images and videos to remove from the internet. And we give children and young people the ability to report and delete sexual imagery of themselves in both the UK and India.
More than one million webpages (1,069,488) showing at least one, and often many tens, hundreds or thousands of child sexual abuse images and videos have been removed from the internet thanks to our work over the past five years alone.
In that time (2019-2023), our highly trained and carefully looked after human analysts have investigated – with ‘eyes on’ – more than 1.6 million reports from the public, police, tech companies and through their own proactive searching.
The IWF Annual Report 2023 provides some analysis from #BehindTheScreens to give you the latest trends and data on the distribution of child sexual abuse images and videos on the internet.
