End Violence Open Call for Technology Solutions to Make the Internet Safe for Children

End Violence Open Call for Technology Solutions to Make the Internet Safe for Children

The End Violence Partnership is announcing the 2023 Safe Online investment round of US$ 2 million to seed and grow innovative solutions and research that leverage existing and new technologies to address challenges around age assurance and live streaming of abuse in the online child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA) landscape.

End Violence will award up to USD$200,000 to non-profit or for-profit organisations for proposals on innovative solutions that address challenges around age assurance or live streaming of abuse through two modalities:

Tech Solutions: Development of solutions that utilise and implicate technology in innovative, groundbreaking ways that are scalable and globally applicable for addressing age assurance or live streaming of abuse.

Research: Actionable or exploratory research on social and policy questions to better understand the enabling environment as well as address unintended consequences and structural barriers for efficacy and impact of tech solutions that address age assurance or live streaming of abuse.

In October of 2020, Safe Online invested US$10 million into projects seeking to advance new, groundbreaking technological tools to prevent – and end – online child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA). Last year, US$15 million was invested towards systems strengthening and tech solutions efforts.

With this new Open Call, we are seeking to expand on this work by continuing to create, adapt and scale technologies to deter online child sexual abuse. This year the Call is specifically focused on proposals to

develop solutions that include technological and research approaches in one of two priority focus areas in preventing and combatting online CSEA: 1) addressing age assurance or 2) tackling live streaming of abuse.

Specifically, we are looking for projects that will focus on one of the following modalities in addressing the priority areas:

1. Development of solutions that utilise and implicate technology in innovative, groundbreaking ways that are scalable and globally applicable for addressing age assurance or live streaming of abuse. Solutions should be applied specifically to exact or related use cases for this Open Call (e.g. if online CSEA data is not available for application, use cases such as adult material could be used instead). Tech solutions we will fund include:




2. Actionable or exploratory research on social and policy questions to better understand the enabling environment for more effective implementation of solutions, as well as address unintended consequences and structural barriers to impact of tech solutions that address age assurance or live streaming of abuse in the online CSEA landscape, including a focus on any/all of the following:

Key populations (e.g. potential and actual victims, survivors, practitioners, would be and confirmed perpetrators, etc.),
environment (e.g. tech platforms, geographies),
and broader ecosystem (e.g. policy, legal, ethical, cultural, economic, etc.).
