The IWF works globally to make the internet safer for everyone, and has proved to be invaluable in the global fight against child sexual abuse content online.
IWF helps victims of child sexual abuse worldwide by identifying and removing online images and videos of their abuse. They search for child sexual abuse images and videos and offer a place for the public to report them anonymously. They then have them removed.
IWF offers international reporting solutions and a variety of unique technical tools to the internet industry, such as the game-changing and award-winning IWF Image Hash List, which ultimately helps the IWF and its current 130+ Members disrupt the availability of child sexual abuse imagery online.
Susie Hargreaves OBE, IWF CEO said: “I’m delighted the IWF has been awarded the ‘Excellence in Internet Safety’ Award. Every day our analysts assess hundreds of images of child sexual abuse so we can disrupt accesses to them and ultimately remove them from the internet. To receive an award that recognises this incredible work is a testament that others around the world appreciates the worth-while work our analysts are doing”.
Local MP Ian Sollom learned about the herculean task faced by analysts at the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) who find, assess and remove child sexual abuse material on the internet.
