Global Report

Searchlight 2023 Childlight Annual Flagship Report

Nine Essential Studies in the Fight Against Child Sexual Exploitation & Abuse (CSEA).

Childlight

Childlight - Global Child Safety Institute

Childlight's Flagship Report represents the first of its kind in understanding the nature of CSEA globally. It lays the groundwork for us to understand who benefits from CSEA as well as the burden it places on society. Our hope is that by shining a light on the nature of CSEA, we can help governments, businesses, law enforcement and anyone working with children understand what steps must be taken to keep children safe. Our mission is to safeguard as many children as possible from sexual exploitation and abuse. We know we cannot deliver this alone which is why collaboration and partnership are at the heart of how we work. We cannot and will not stop until we know that children are safer in this world and must now move beyond the data to action – because children can’t wait.
