The International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC) builds capacity and fosters systemic change to keep children safe. Criminal justice systems -composed of law enforcement, prosecutors, judges, social workers and other professionals- play a crucial role in the protection and recovery of any child who is abused, exploited, or who goes missing. As the internet is increasingly leveraged to exploit and harm children, the way these crimes are investigated and prosecuted must evolve.
The fight against online child sexual exploitation (OCSE) is a global challenge that requires multi-disciplinary, cross-border approach. From a stakeholder perspective, public-private sector partnerships are critical, with the technological and financial industries being highly involved in this growing crime.
ICMEC, in its intervention for ITU CWG-COP 2025 shares three aspects of its work globally in addressing online child sexual exploitation, focusing on the pivotal role of the financial aspect of OCSE.
