Follow the Money: Payments for Online Sexual Exploitation of Children livestreaming in the Philippines
About the report
This report summarizes exploratory research conducted by the University of Nottingham Rights Lab in partnership with the World Childhood Foundation. There is a global market for livestreaming Online Sexual Exploitation of Children (OSEC), driven by online offenders, often based overseas, who pay facilitators in the Philippines to broadcast the sexual abuse of children over the internet. The Philippines is the global hotspot for this form of OSEC.
The report seeks to explore the utility of using financial data on known OSEC facilitators to identify additional and/or previously unidentified online OSEC offenders, usually located outside of the Philippines, who may also be purchasing OSEC from additional unidentified facilitators. The research aims to contribute to ongoing efforts to identify and protect child victims of OSEC livestreaming and to lay the foundation for leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance the detection and disruption of exploitation through the analysis of financial transaction data.
