Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) - response to the Byron Review
The IWF worked alongside the Ministerio Público o Fiscalía General, (Public Prosecutor’s Office), to set up the portal, with extra support from the Office Against Child trafficking of Guatemala and crucial help from UNODC (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime).
Europe’s largest hotline, the Internet Watch Foundation, is using this year’s Safer Internet Day to urge the European Commission to bring forward long awaited legislation to address the growing threat to children online.
The IWF is looking for someone who may not have previous Board experience to help bring a fresh perspective
“It’s a heart-breaking milestone and a reminder, if it was ever needed, that the need for a safer internet has never been more urgent."
On April 27, the IWF was in Brussels to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the IWF and to discuss forthcoming EU legislation to tackle Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation.
The IWF welcomed the new Bill, but said there needs to be greater clarity in how the Bill will be implemented.
