BREAKING: The first 300 Ridglan beagles touched grass for the first time today.

They stepped outside and looked up at the sun.

Many are playful. Some are scared. All are learning the world can be safe.

Today, they are free.

Fraud is no longer a peripheral threat, it is at the centre of polycriminality, intersecting with organized crime, human trafficking and cybercrime.

🔎 The 2026 INTERPOL Global Financial Fraud Threat Assessment, released today at the #GlobalFraudSummit, highlights:

🔵 The increased use of AI to plan and execute fraud campaigns
🔵 The systematic integration of sextortion into scams
🔵 The use of specialized money laundering groups
🔵 The globalization of trafficking-fuelled scam centres

The good news? Law enforcement authorities are collaborating more effectively.

Children forced to grow drugs.

Children forced to sell drugs.

Children forced into drug cartels.

This can be human trafficking for forced criminality.

We must stop it!

Transnational crime syndicates are trafficking people into "scam farms" for forced labour and sexual exploitation. Thousands suffer daily.

UNODC and local authorities are working to dismantle these cruel enterprises. Read Susan and Dylan's harrowing stories ⬇️

Traffickers use AI to to boost the speed, scale and sophistication of their operations.

AI can fake faces, voices and actions.

Deepfakes make people appear to say or do things that never happened, fueling online abuse.

Think twice before you share or believe what you see!

🚨 65 victims identified, 60 arrests in year-long child sexual abuse operation in the Americas

Operation Eclipse brought together authorities across nine countries to target the production and distribution of child sexual abuse and exploitation material, with a focus on identifying victims and reopening long-unsolved or “cold” cases.

Most victims were 5-13 years old, with approximatley 80% identified as girls. Children who were still minors during the operation were rescued and are receiving protection and aftercare from national authorities.

Those allegedly responsible included family members, friends, neighbours, educators, online predators and foreign travellers, underscoring that there is no single profile of an offender.

Migrant smugglers are stepping up their game — becoming more organized and professional.

Strengthening cooperation between the public and private sectors is essential to effectively prevent and combat this growing crime.

Corruption enables traffickers to operate freely.

It provides them with documents, protection and silence.

We must break the system to #EndHumanTrafficking.

A couple appeared in the Bellville Magistrates Court this week on human trafficking charges after allegedly luring victims abroad with fake job offers. Authorities say they promised work in Thailand but trafficked victims to Cambodia, where passports were confiscated, and they were forced to scam people at another call centre. Lt Col Siyabulela Vukubi of the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation warned that scammers prey on those seeking better opportunities and urged other victims to come forward. The couple has been denied bail and remains in custody as investigations continue, Western Cape NPA spokesperson Eric Ntabazalila says. For the full story, follow at https://t.co/bVKo1a0jW7

A statement from the Rape Gang Inquiry.

[INTERPOL @INTERPOL_HQ]

The words we use matter.
They shape how we understand child sexual abuse and exploitation and how we act to end it.

When language is unclear or inconsistent, it leads to:
🔵 weaker laws
🔵 poor data
🔵 harm being dismissed

That’s why we are shifting away from saying “online child sexual exploitation and abuse” to “technology-facilitated child sexual exploitation and abuse.”

This reflects how abuse today can shift between online and in-person spaces and via different technologies including AI-powered tools.

This #SaferInternetDay find out about #DisruptingHarm's work to end tech-facilitated child sexual exploitation and abuse across 25 countries.

GirlsDoPorn is one of the largest sex trafficking cases that has ever been prosecuted. And in this week's Consider Before Consuming episode, we have the privilege of hearing directly from a GDP trafficking survivor, now an advocate against trafficking and exploitation.

In this episode, Mariah shares her story—from how she was trafficked to the harsh realities of living with nonconsensual imagery online, the fight for justice in the courts, and how she now offers hope and healing to other survivors like herself. Through connection, witness, and advocacy, she came to recognize and share the strength, intelligence, and resilience it takes not only to survive exploitation but to keep living a full life afterward.

If you're wondering why victims don't "just leave," how sex trafficking actually occurs in cases like GirlsDoPorn, or why some survivors seem to comply or return, Mariah’s story offers a clearer picture.

Conflict heightens the risk of human trafficking and uses violence against women as a weapon of war.

In 2023, more than 3,600 cases of sexual violence were committed in conflict settings globally.

95% of the cases involved women and girls.

5-year-old child given tablet, viewing porn by 7. At 13, abuses his 6-year-old sister, places images on the internet.

We used to stop children playing with matches. Parents today don't seem to care who gets burned.

Female victims of human trafficking are three times more likely to suffer violent forms of the crime.

It's time to end violence against women!

Recruitment for human trafficking increasingly happens online, with abuse repeatedly shared globally.

Law enforcement must keep pace with digital tactics, ensuring prevention, safe reporting and survivor support start online.
