The joint Insafe and INHOPE networks have recently published their annual report for 2014.

As the year 2014 marked the 10th anniversary of Insafe and the 15th anniversary of INHOPE, the annual report provides a great opportunity to look back at both some of the major achievements of the last year and indeed some of the background, activities and accomplishments made over the years which have contributed to their success. Particular highlights include Safer Internet Day (www.saferinternetday.org) as we prepare to celebrate the 12th edition of the event on 10 February 2015 under the theme of ‘Let’s create a better internet together'.

About INHOPE

INHOPE is an active, collaborative and influential network of 51 hotlines in 45 countries worldwide, committed to stamping out child sexual abuse from the Internet.

INHOPE was founded in 1999 under the European Commission Safer Internet Programme.

INHOPE Hotlines offer the public a way of anonymously reporting Internet material including child sexual abuse material they suspect to be illegal.

INHOPE members operate a public hotline to receive complaints about apparent illegal content, they then assess the content in accordance with their national laws and if they consider it to be illegal they trace the material to a hosting country. If the content is illegal in the hosting country then the national Hotline takes steps to have the material ‘taken down’ in consultation with their law enforcement partners.


In the first half of 2014:

170 analysts across the INHOPE network processed 587,674 reports of illegal content.

39,144 reports were assessed to contain unique URLs of child sexual abuse material, a 32% increase compared with the last six months of 2013.

81% child victims were female. 6% child victims were infants.

In Europe, 98% was reported to law enforcement within a day. 91% was removed from the Internet within three days.
