Very interesting to hear from Elly Hanson about how porn is fuelling harmful sexual behaviour. 'This is an industry trying to shape our sexuality for profit'. Very powerful evidence of the links between exposure to porn & harmful sexual behaviour. #MCFconference 2024
Breakout session learning about the @MCFcharityUK #POWER resource (Path of Wellness, Empowerment &Recovery). Brilliant resource and so proud of the MCF who developed this much needed free practitioner resource. mariecollinsfoundation.org.u…

This year we are honoured to be joined by our Patron Marie Collins!
Marie was a victim of sexual abuse as a child in the 1960's which included photographic images being taken. She has campaigned for the protection of children and justice for survivors for many years.
We cannot thank her enough for her work in this area and are pleased she will be joining us to deliver a breakout session on day two!

Excellent presentation by Emma Hardy at IWF talking about evolving developments in Tech Assisted CSA. Very hard to listen to increased use of CSA especially using AI, but great to hear what they're doing about it. #MCFconference2024 @IWFhotline

I'm so honoured. Elevating the voices of victims & survivors is what I strive for each & every day, so winning the Victims' Champion award really means the absolute world to me.
Thank you to all those who played a part in this & saw something in me & my work that I didn't ❤

platforms are not safe, placing the responsibility onto children to keep themselves safe, not agreeing to support legislation
This only goes to show exactly why we need honesty, transparency & to work together to ensure we are working towards the same goal – to protect children

📻First reports of children in UK schools abusing AI to make "indecent" imagery of other children. Victoria Green from @MCFcharityUK tells @BBCr4today new tech must be "safe by design" & children may not always understand the risks. (listen from 45.50)

Very powerful message by Simon , John and most importantly Rhiannon using her courage to help send this vital message to those at Meta and other platforms that can do so much more to protect children from the lifetime harm that sexual abuse causes
800 predators a month are arrested by UK law enforcement agencies and up to 1,200 children are safeguarded from child sexual abuse following information provided by social media companies.
A survivor of child sexual exploitation online calls for Meta to act and not to roll out end-to-end encryption on its platforms without robust safety measures to protect children. Find out more: gov.uk/e2ee-child-safety.
