It is often considered that most victims of sexual abuse and exploitation are girls. However, the significant proportion of boys depicted in unidentified images and videos in the ICSE Database invites closer attention to this group. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e076d7f5096316889ad4487/9412a346-32f9-4d47-afc1-b0f78ae3f29a/Capture2.PNG Blog - INTERPOL’s Child Exploitation Database - Make it stand out Why is ethnicity important? In some cases, the ethnicity of victims may be a proxy indicator for the location of the abuse or exploitation. However, the ethnicity of the victims in the database does not necessarily paint an accurate picture of the ethnicity of victims globally, because many countries do not yet contribute images and videos to the ICSE Database. This highlights the need to connect more countries and regions to the database to generate a more nuanced understanding of victims’ ethnic profiles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e076d7f5096316889ad4487/141c24b1-dc3d-4f6b-8507-944af91d806b/Capture3.PNG Blog - INTERPOL’s Child Exploitation Database - Make it stand out Why is age important? It is often assumed that victims of sexual abuse are older children. This may be due in part to increased media attention and public awareness surrounding the risks associated with young people’s use of technology and the Internet, including the production of youth-produced material, but it may also be due to the fact that most people find it hard to imagine the extreme sexual assault of an infant. While the victimisation of any child of any age is inexcusable, over 60 percent of unidentified victims in this study were prepubescent, including very young children (infants and toddlers). This finding highlights the need to reflect and potentially prioritise this age group in policy and programming. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e076d7f5096316889ad4487/19ad2968-7036-464a-8d56-e8ae88208291/Capture4.PNG Blog - INTERPOL’s Child Exploitation Database - Make it stand out Why is this important? This finding supports the contention that most producers of CSAM/ CSEM are male. However, the significantly lower proportion of female offenders depicted in the analysed series does not negate the importance of understanding the role played by adult and young females in the abuse and exploitation of children. Whether females were seen offending alongside males, or where lone female offenders were seen abusing a child, it was difficult to tell from a visual assessment whether the depicted abuse and exploitation was committed at the behest of the male offender, female offender, or as a truly collaborative act. The role played by females in CSAM/CSEM production is apparently complex, particularly in terms of distinguishing females who act as proponents or facilitators of this crime, or both. This area requires further, focused investigation in order to inform improved strategies for the management and prevention of child sexual abuse and exploitation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e076d7f5096316889ad4487/9bd40e91-0c9f-4bea-ae01-1371f92b2bd1/Capture5.PNG Blog - INTERPOL’s Child Exploitation Database - Make it stand out Why is this important? There were several possible reasons identified for the low proportions of some ethnic groups in CSAM/CSEM producer profiles, including the current geographical scope of countries connected to the ICSE Database. Based on this study, producers of CSAM/CSEM appear to have a preference for victims of the same ethnicity. It should be noted however that this could also be the result of proximity and opportunity when the offender is part of the victim’s circle of trust or community, or where travelling sex offenders travel to abuse children within their own country or region. This belies the assumption that sexual exploitation of children is a crime only carried out by white males travelling to developing countries. Possible exceptions are cases of travelling sex offenders who travel outside of their home country or region to abuse children. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e076d7f5096316889ad4487/446d07e9-a96f-4853-a923-2f6a72d0cac0/Capture6.PNG Blog - INTERPOL’s Child Exploitation Database - Make it stand out Why is the number of depicted victims important? Understanding the situation of unidentified children requires insight into the context of their victimisation. For example, the high proportion of single victims may be the result of the secretive nature of child sexual abuse, where silence is enforced by an offender through grooming, manipulation and threats to a child victim. Cases involving multiple victims may indicate intra-familial (e.g. sibling) or peer abuse, or a more opportunistic offending profile (e.g. child abuse by travelling sex offenders). https://www.safe4us.org/blog/i-did-not-sign-up-for-this-teresas-story monthly 0.5 2023-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e076d7f5096316889ad4487/fa652fa7-9c18-46a2-a86c-a01c14d40068/ff3bbbb6-4e2b-43fb-85cb-306c34e76fba_68-48c4-9e59-026469a34605_webp_net-resizeimage.jpg Blog - Teresa’s Story - Make it stand out Hosted by Carling- a Canadian, Queer Identifying, 30 something year old who believes in the power of storytelling.

Identification Families who exploit their children commercially often have many adversities, dysfunctions, and disorders that create a household dynamic of coercion and secrecy, making identification and intervention incredibly difficult. These children often attend school, church, and other community functions, but go unnoticed as needing assistance. While identification is difficult, it is not impossible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e076d7f5096316889ad4487/1583773100099-8X1KVRKWM40KDAV9K3D4/windowkids.jpg Home - Intervention If you suspect a child is being commercially exploited, please call your local child abuse hotline, your non-emergency police department, National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, as well as the National Human Trafficking Hotline. Please do not try to intervene yourself, as you could make the situation worse for the child. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e076d7f5096316889ad4487/1583773179654-7MZI3HFCWIK6W2ZIM1ZL/kidshammock.jpg Home - Restoration Recovery from exploitation at the hands of a family member is a life-long process. Victims being identified and removed from their trafficker is just the start of the recovery process. Thus, identification should be considered the initial goal rather than the end goal. https://www.safe4us.org/intervention daily 0.75 2022-10-23 https://www.safe4us.org/our-survivors daily 0.75 2026-02-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e076d7f5096316889ad4487/1584050166395-NBO8WTIK0K3H27F1W5JQ/AngelaRaeClark.jpg Our Survivors - Angela Rae Clark SAFE Survivor Ambassador Angela Rae Clark is a public speaker promoting a comprehensive recovery model for survivors of human trafficking.

She loves counseling and ministering to children from difficult backgrounds like hers and has years of mentoring to at-risk teenagers, vulnerable to being trafficked. Taylor grew up in a 90’s upper middle class home and had parents who were adored by their community. She is passionate about bringing awareness that anyone can be a trafficker, even those who are well respected. She is known for giving tough facts and doesn’t mind stepping on toes to make sure today’s trafficked youth are identified and brought to freedom. A Christian youth camp, set 16 yo Taylor on the path of healing and self-identification as a familial sex trafficking survivor. Forever changed, she returned to the youth ranch as a volunteer when she grew older and was discipled into healing ministry by the directors. Taylor is married to an emphatic man and enjoys speaking to abuse survivors battling with inter-personal trust issues, as well as walking alongside sexual abuse survivors as they recover physically and spiritually following a miscarriage. She also loves to serve her local churches by guiding their leaders on best therapeutic practices when counseling sexual abuse survivors.

SAFE was started in 2019 in order to close the gap in the anti-trafficking movement by bringing together adult survivors of familial exploitation & CSEC in a collaborative effort to end the trafficking of very young children. SAFE functions as a platform to harness the power of their collective narratives. This network of professional survivors includes advocates, consultants, and educators working together to develop identifying profiles of victim and trafficker characteristics, intervention strategies, as well as best practices for therapeutic recovery. To learn more about familial exploitation, warning signs, intervention and recovery strategies, please contact us to book a speaker for your next event or subscribe to our newsletter.
