Our Response to online threats
Children are vulnerable to online sexual exploitation and abuse.
With the growth of modern digital technologies, the vulnerability of children is sadly increasing. We’ve partnered with tech industries and global hotlines to disrupt the harm of online sexual exploitation and abuse to children in Cambodia.

Children had their sexual images shared with others without permission.
