Amy was just three years old when we first became aware of imagery showing her abuse. Even after she was rescued, that abuse continued to be shared online.

In one three-month period, we assessed and hashed an image of Amy on average three times a day.

Her story is a stark reminder that every image we see depicts a real child, and that every removal matters.

Every day, our analysts see unidentified child victims. While they work hard to make sure the imagery cannot spread online, they do not always have enough information to identify the children being abused.

But sometimes, through diligence, determination and a bit of luck, they do.

Earlier this year, one of our world-class analysts helped identify a previously unknown victim of child sexual abuse, helping her get the support she is entitled to.
