We welcome Communications Minister @MRowlandMP's announcement to give greater powers to the @eSafetyOffice to ensure tech companies clamp down on child sexual abuse material on their platforms. https://t.co/yc9MJs9UBy

A new study by @UNSW and @JesuitSocialSer found 5% of Australian men reported having sexual feelings toward children and admitted to sexually offending children. They were 25 times more likely to hold views conducive to online child sex offending. https://t.co/VgkcbRaEOt

Forging a strong global response to the online sexual exploitation of children is integral in the fight for justice. We are encouraged by this joint statement, expressing @albomp and @potus' recommitment to tackling this crime through bilateral coordination.

Grateful to have met with @AusAmbPSHT recently and share more about our efforts to address forced scamming.

Jun Hao* thought he had accepted a customer service job, and only realised that something was terribly wrong when his boss locked the door behind him. He was forced to scam people, or risk getting beaten. Learn more about this heartbreaking crime: https://t.co/gUZPt98cJ2

The team visited our billboard at Wynyard Station, designed to raise awareness on forced scamming, a new form of trafficking! Whilst Australians have been inundated with scam messages, the person on the other side may be a victim of forced scamming: https://t.co/gUZPt98cJ2

[International Justice Mission Australia @ijmaus]

Australians have been targeted by scams. However, in this heartbreaking new form of trafficking, IJM has uncovered that there is more than one victim of scamming.

Begin the end of forced scamming: https://t.co/gUZPt98cJ2

“This Index serves as a wake-up call that intention without effective action is meaningless. A lack of action has real consequences – 10m more men, women & children are in #modernslavery today because govts have failed to act with the urgency required” -@jacquijlarsen

[Gary Haugen @garyhaugen]

Grateful to @Peter_Wehner and @TheAtlantic for artfully weaving together my personal experience that sparked a question and eventually led to the creation of @IJM: “Who’s addressing the problem of violence among the poor?”

[James Cockayne @James_Cockayne]

A very welcome development. I look forward to working with a federal Anti-Slavery Commissioner to help develop a more joined up response that delivers better outcomes for people, in NSW and beyond.

[International Justice Mission Australia @ijmaus]

IJM will continue to advocate for these funds to be used strategically and sustainably to combat #modernslavery (incl. in online #scamming, and online sexual exploitation of children #OSEC) at it source.
