The sexual abuse & exploitation of children is a topic barely palatable for most. It is happening in every community and across all socioeconomic levels in many cases, evolving into long-term sexual abuse. The CyberTipline receives reports about multiple forms of online child sexual exploitation. Reports regarding CSAM, legally referred to as child pornography, make up the largest reporting category.
Reports of child sexual abuse material to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children
In 2020, at a time of peak isolation during the pandemic, The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children reported 21.7 million files of child sexual abuse materials.
The governing body for nearly 1,000 child advocacy centers, shared data that 65% of their cases involved child sexual abuse.
The nature of the crime have no demographic. It stems from the depths of the dark web to the suburban neighborhood to the upper tiers of society.
The fight is a dark one; yet, we remain encouraged because the victories also have been great.
The NFL platform gives us a unique platform and opportunity to make a difference.
Our mission is to generate awareness and initiate prevention strategies to end sexual abuse, exploitation, and trafficking of children. We also partner with vetted, restorative service providers to improve their capacity to care for children who have experienced sexual trauma.
