INHOPE FOUNDATION – CSAM: how are we doing INHOPE FOUNDATION – CSAM: how are we doing? A focus on the current state of Child Sexual Abuse Material online production, distribution and exploitation. Trends, threats and global response. Maria Grazia Testa – GLOBAL programme manager – inhope FOUNDATION

What are CSAM and CSE? CSAM (Child Sexual Abuse Material) and CSE (Child Sexual Exploitation) are the documentation of a child being sexually abused, a video, an image, a photograph, a recording of the violence, which every time published, shared, reproduced or seen perpetuates the abuse. Today, thousands of CSAM and CSE items circulate on the Internet and hundreds new are uploaded every hour. The number of child sexual abuse material reports that the International Association of Internet Hotlines INHOPE receives has been increasing by a yearly average of 45%, since the start of the programme.

Why INHOPE? Our work starts when a child has already been abused. Our work is to make sure it does not happen again.
