The Global Threat Assessment brings together the latest data, evidence and analysis on the scale and sophistication of technology-facilitated child sexual exploitation and abuse from a global perspective.
Technology-facilitated child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA) is a complex, global challenge that inflicts profound harm on children, families, and communities. This threat is preventable, not inevitable. Tackling this issue requires coordinated, cross-sector action centred on children’s rights, and promising data and strategies are emerging globally. The Global Threat Assessment 2025 takes an action-oriented approach, assessing the current landscape while emphasising prevention and practical measures to keep children safe.
Technology-facilitated CSEA can be prevented, but there is no universal solution. Prevention requires whole-of-society action. The prevention framework presented in this report, complementing WeProtect Global Alliance’s Model National Response, offers practical guidance across four interconnected action areas.
