Awareness Raising

Online Child Sexual Exploitation (OCSE) is an emerging form of child sexual abuse and exploitation that is facilitated by the Internet. Websites (including dark/deep webs), social media platforms and smartphone apps are being utilized for abusive and illegal activities such as accessing and distributing child sexual abuse material (child pornography), grooming of potential child victims, as well as live streaming of sexual activity.

"I have learned a lot from participating in the awareness event organized by IHC and I will spread the information across my youth network. The knowledge I've gained will shape the way I use and take advantage of the Internet."
