“When I was growing up I did not know what grooming was...I did not know how to recognize when it was being done to me...which led up to my experience with sexual assault. It’s important to educate children, young adults, and adults about grooming. What it looks like in-person and online because it looks different...but still has the same results” What a dynamic panel discussion on the ‘Consider Before Consuming” podcast by Fight The New Drug. Fight The New Drug has teamed up with the Elizabeth Smart Foundation and Malouf Foundation to form PHASE Alliance. Combined, Phase Alliance has over 30 years of experience and has served over 10 million people across all platforms. We are thrilled to partner with Phase Alliance to host the 2024 Coalition to End Sexual Exploitation (CESE) Global Submit. August 5th-8th, hundreds of leaders from all over the world will come together in Washington, DC to dive deep into emerging tech, sexual exploitation, and the ongoing pursuit of dignity. 🔗 Full Podcast episode: https://lnkd.in/gz8e4pXB #fightthenewdrug #endexploitation #cesesummit

Image-Based Sexual Abuse (IBSA): The Real Impact 👇 In approximately 40% of IBSA cases, content is shared on Internet pornography websites. 80.8% of women and 72.9% of men reported feeling humiliated, depressed, angry, or fearful as a consequence. Last Tuesday, our CEO Dawn Hawkins spoke at a press conference held by Senator Ted Cruz to announce the ‘Take It Down Act’. Senator Cruz and Senator Klobuchar lead this bipartisan bill. National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, Senator Lummis, RAINN, as well as survivors and parents, also spoke at this conference.  The Take It Down Act is a critical step toward finally requiring these companies to remove abuse content! #Takeitdown #enexploitation #massscaleprevention #policy #bipartisan

Our journey to fight for mass-scale prevention of sexual abuse and exploitation has not been an easy one. 2024 has been filled with challenges but there have also been many victories! 🙌 Here are a few victories that were achieved thanks to your help and support! 💡 Highlights: -Apple Nudify Apps and LinkedIn Ads are Gone. -Meta Blurs Nudity in Direct Messages for Minors After years of pressing Meta to automatically blur nudity in direct messages (DMs) for minors, across all platforms, They finally agreed to do so for Instagram and Facebook DMs. However, this was only for teens 13-15 years old, and that wasn’t enough for us. You joined us and continued to press them and they finally agreed to blur nudity for all minors on Instagram DMs. These changes happed just weeks after being placed on the 2024 Dirty Dozen List. -The Report Act Passed Congress Signed into law by President Biden on May 7th, this law requires platforms to report crimes against children involving sex trafficking, grooming, or the enticement of children for sexual acts to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children’s (NCMEC) Cyber Tipline. -2 Big Victories in our Pornhub Class Action Lawsuit  Survivors of child sexual abuse material distributed on Pornhub has a right to receive compensation if the lawsuit is won. Pornhub has been ordered to display a notice about the class action lawsuit on their website! This will alert other survivors of their rights through the lawsuit. -U.S. Supreme Court Rejects Challenge to the Age Verification Law. Nearly a dozen states are implementing age verification laws aimed at decreasing children visiting hardcore pornography. Pornhub began fighting back by removing access to their website from all users whose state has passed the age verification bill. The pornography industry continues to challenge the Texas version of the Law with no success. Even after taking their case to the U.S. Supreme Court, the Supreme Court has spoken and the Texas age verification law will stand!  Thanks to your support the victories continue and the progress to end sexual abuse and exploitation at mass- scale increases every day! Thank you for fighting for human dignity! Swipe to see the full report. #endexploitation #masscaleprevention #ImpactReport National Center for Missing & Exploited Children
