INHOPE - International Association of Internet Hotlines

INHOPE - International Association of Internet Hotlines INHOPE is the global network combating online Child Sexual Abuse Material. Report on our website! Join us in the fight!

INHOPE is the leading global network combatting online Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM). The Network consists of 54 hotlines in 50 countries (as of January 2024) that provide the public with a way to anonymously report illegal content online with a focus on CSAM. Reports are reviewed by content analysts who classify the illegality of the material, which is then shared with local Law Enforcement

Agencies and a notice and takedown order is sent to the relevant Hosting Provider. We support hotlines and their partner organisations through training, setting high quality standards and best practices for hotline operations, and ensuring staff welfare. We provide the hotline network with a secure platform called ICCAM that facilitates the exchange of CSAM reports between hotlines and INTERPOL. INHOPE promotes legislative and policy developments that support our vision of an internet free from CSAM. INHOPE is based in the Netherlands and our member hotlines operate across six continents: Africa, Asia, Australia/Oceania, Europe, North and South America. In a borderless digital world CSAM has global consequences and as its distribution grows so do our efforts. This is only possible with the support and funding from the European Commission, Safe Online, NEO Philanthropy Foundation and INHOPE’s corporate partners.

Gaming platforms are no longer just entertainment spaces. They are increasingly being exploited by extremist actors to target children, often through tactics that evade traditional detection methods.

In this Expert Insights webinar, we'll examine where online child sexual exploitation and violent extremism intersect, who is most at risk, and how cross-sector collaboration can help disrupt these threats.

If you work in law enforcement, a hotline, or the tech sector, this conversation is one you cannot afford to miss.

INHOPE's network is growing because the need is growing.

In 2025, we welcomed three new members: YOCUPA in Zambia, ATKM in the Netherlands, and Andorra Digital in Andorra.

With child sexual abuse material (CSAM) traced to 84 countries worldwide, every new hotline closes a gap that offenders continue to exploit.

Of the 4.7 million suspected child sexual abuse material (CSAM) records processed by our network in 2025, the highest concentrations of hosting were detected in the Netherlands, Romania and the United States. In total, CSAM was traced to 84 countries worldwide.

INHOPE hotlines currently operate in 52 of those countries. That gap is where the greatest risk lies, and where our most urgent work remains.

Forums are now the primary location for child sexual abuse material (CSAM) distribution, accounting for 62% of all reports to INHOPE hotlines in 2025, more than double their share in 2024.

Offenders continue to adapt: rotating hosting providers, registering near-identical domains to re-upload the same content, and shifting toward app-based, encrypted and streaming distribution models. Persistent inconsistencies in geolocation and IP information add further strain to analyst workflows.

Staying ahead requires international collaboration, robust technical tools and continuous adaptation. Our Annual Report 2025 details what our network is seeing and how it is responding. 👉https://ow.ly/qyqz50YGowB

AI-generated child sexual abuse material is no longer a future concern. It is a present reality.

In 2025, hotlines reported a marked increase in synthetic and AI-generated imagery, with some members recording a 2000% rise in virtual content compared to 2023. Not all of this material is illegal, but its rapid expansion significantly complicates the classification process for analysts — increasing workload and demanding ever more specialised training and detection methods.

Analysts also reported early incidents of minors being harmed through interactions with automated systems, signalling a new dimension of AI-facilitated abuse.

Our Annual Report 2025 examines what this trend means for hotlines and the wider response to online child sexual exploitation 👉https://ow.ly/qSQe50YMBnv

Online child sexual exploitation and abuse thrives in the gaps - gaps in definitions, in reporting, and in accountability. These gaps have real implications for children, and for the child helplines and hotlines working every day to protect them.

On May 6th, join INHOPE, Child Helpline International, and the OECD as we unpack the latest global evidence on platform transparency - and hear directly from Offlimits and KJT-BEE SECURE on how it affects their daily operations.
