Summary
This seminal event marked one year since the launch of Project Protect—the Tech Coalition’s five-part strategic framework for combating child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA) online.
During this dynamic two-day event, panels of cross-sector experts illuminated the unique challenges of a rapidly growing dimension of CSEA, “self generated indecent imagery featuring youth.” Participants then collaborated in robust small groups to address these challenges and produce concrete deliverables. We invite you to read a summary of this event and its outcomes below.
Attendees also reviewed the Tech Coalition’s revised set of visuals representing the “self-generated” issue. The revamped graphics, which followed the Self-Generated Indecent Imagery Featuring Youth: Challenges and Opportunities workshop, were intended to capture the problem-space and outline a sampling of roles and responsibilities of all stakeholders. The Tech Coalition expects these visuals to continue to evolve as both the issue and our collective approaches to it mature.
