Protect Children, in strong collaboration with ChildFund International and the University of Eastern Finland, is thrilled to announce the launch of Project Lens, which aims to understand and prevent emerging forms of image-based sexual violence against children.
This project is made possible through the generous support of Safe Online, whose commitment to child safety continues to drive essential research and action.
Generating a detailed analysis of global trends, victimisation risks, and long-term impacts of image-based sexual violence against children
Project Lens will generate a detailed analysis of trends, victimisation risks, and long-term impacts of image-based sexual violence against children with a focus on under-researched countries.
Examining and addressing the specific needs of families affected by image-based sexual violence against children
Through interviews with families affected by image-based sexual violence against children, Project Lens will examine their specific needs and experiences with legal and support systems, providing essential insights into gaps in support structures.
Equipping law enforcement agencies and professionals working with child victims to identify and address image-based sexual violence against children.
Project Lens will assess attitudes and challenges of law enforcement agencies and professionals working with child victims in identifying and addressing image-based sexual violence against children to support the development of targeted, research-based, and effective response strategies.
Ultimately, by investigating survivor experiences, family perspectives, and professional attitudes, Project Lens will build a robust knowledge base to inform and implement a comprehensive, system-wide response to existing and emerging forms of image-based sexual violence against children.
