Protecting children is everyone’s job. Together, we will build a digital safety net to transform how the world keeps children safe.
Childhood should be a time of growth, exploration, and joy. But for many children, that joy is taken away.
Our children are growing up in a digital world. This dramatic shift in how and where young people connect, learn, and play has left parents and our communities feeling helpless and uncertain about how to protect them.
Predators are taking advantage of this new reality, exploiting children in digital spaces and taking advantage of them. Now, we’re seeing the consequences, including a staggering rise in child sexual abuse material (CSAM). In 2024, more than 100 files of child sexual abuse material were reported each minute.
Behind each of those files are real children—victims of abuse—whose lives will never be the same.
The reality is that children are sexually abused every day, and technology only makes it worse. But it doesn’t have to be that way, and we don’t have to scroll by while it happens. We can end this global public health crisis and create a better world for every child, now and for future generations.
That’s why Thorn is conducting original research and building cutting-edge technology to transform how we protect children from sexual abuse and exploitation. We envision a world where every child is free to simply be a kid—but we can’t get there alone.
Everyone has a role to play in keeping kids safe. If we work together, we can protect every child from sexual abuse. And it starts with your belief in a better future.
“I believe that every child has the right to a joyful childhood, free from sexual abuse.”
