Trends and strategies to fight on online sexual abuse

If we can find victims faster, deter potential offenders, and make platforms as safe as possible, we’re squeezing the access points and hopefully making a difference. We can strategize, we can try to make plans, but at the end of the day, real change is through relationships, through consistency, through those everyday moments.
