Cases of child sexual exploitation are increasing every year. In 2021, the National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children, the non-governmental organisation responsible for CyberTip reports, received 29.3 million reports of suspected child sexual exploitation*. All these reports are sent to Law Enforcement Agencies globally. This was an increase of nearly 8 million reports from 2020, with predictions that 2022 will see a further increase in investigations.
The European Commission distributes grants to member states and research programs that can help deliver a safer Europe, especially for children.
