INHOPE - International Association of Internet Hotlines

INHOPE - International Association of Internet Hotlines INHOPE is the global network combating online Child Sexual Abuse Material. Report on our website! Join us in the fight!

INHOPE is the leading global network combatting online Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM). The Network consists of 54 hotlines in 50 countries (as of January 2024) that provide the public with a way to anonymously report illegal content online with a focus on CSAM. Reports are reviewed by content analysts who classify the illegality of the material, which is then shared with local Law Enforcement

Agencies and a notice and takedown order is sent to the relevant Hosting Provider. We support hotlines and their partner organisations through training, setting high quality standards and best practices for hotline operations, and ensuring staff welfare. We provide the hotline network with a secure platform called ICCAM that facilitates the exchange of CSAM reports between hotlines and INTERPOL. INHOPE promotes legislative and policy developments that support our vision of an internet free from CSAM. INHOPE is based in the Netherlands and our member hotlines operate across six continents: Africa, Asia, Australia/Oceania, Europe, North and South America. In a borderless digital world CSAM has global consequences and as its distribution grows so do our efforts. This is only possible with the support and funding from the European Commission, Safe Online, NEO Philanthropy Foundation and INHOPE’s corporate partners.

The Safer Internet Centre Moldova, operated by Centrul Internațional „La Strada Moldova”, visited the Romanian Safer Internet Centre, operated by Salvati Copiii Romania, for a two-day exchange of practices on protecting children online.

From how Hotline analysts handle child sexual abuse material (CSAM) reports and protect their own well-being, to cooperation with law enforcement, education and the implementation of the Digital Services Act, the visit offered a look at how different parts of the child online protection response can work together.

Why does this kind of exchange matter? Because online risks cross borders - and sharing what works helps strengthen the response everywhere.

Financial transactions can provide important leads in cases of financially motivated child sexual abuse. They can help identify suspicious activity, trace funds and support investigations.

But a transaction is only one piece of the picture. Turning that signal into action depends on how effectively financial platforms, law enforcement and other sectors can share information, respond to leads and work across different systems.

At the INHOPE Summit 2026, we’ll bring these perspectives together to look at what’s working, where collaboration still breaks down, and how we can turn financial intelligence into faster, stronger action.

Maybe you've used AI to help with homework, get ideas, ask questions... or even talk about how you're feeling. AI can be helpful – but it's important to remember that it's not a real person. It doesn't always get things right, and it can't replace the care and understanding of someone who truly listens.

That's why Child Helpline International has created a simple guide to help children and young people use AI safely and confidently, understand its strengths and limitations, and know when it's time to talk to a trusted adult or a child helpline instead.

Safe Online's Grantee Highlights 2025 report is out! 🌍

The report highlights the work of organisations around the world working to strengthen child protection - from developing national policy frameworks and using AI to support victim identification, to improving how child sexual abuse material (CSAM) is classified and reported.

We’re pleased to see INHOPE’s work featured through our international training on Schema content classification, helping hotlines and industry partners build a more consistent approach to identifying and responding to CSAM.

A great look at what can be achieved when organisations across the child protection community work together.

The internet doesn’t stand still.

New technologies emerge. New forms of abuse appear. Different platforms, different behaviours, different challenges. Our response has to keep evolving too.

That's one of the reasons we come together at the INHOPE Summit. It's a chance to compare what we're seeing across countries, learn from one another's experiences, challenge our thinking and explore new approaches to online child protection.

The conversations don't end when the Summit does. They continue in our day-to-day work, helping us respond to new challenges with new ideas.

Building safer systems starts with asking better questions.

How do we prevent harm, not just respond to it? How can technology support child protection? What role do regulation, research and shared infrastructure play? And where can we work better together?

These questions sit at the heart of this year's INHOPE Summit. Register to join us: https://inhope.org/action-awareness/summit2026

There isn't a single pathway to protecting children online. Stronger regulation. Better research. Safer platforms. Shared technical standards. Financial intelligence. Prevention. Each is part of the picture, and each depends on the others.

Over two days, the Summit will explore how these different pathways come together to create stronger, more effective systems for child protection.
