eSafety’s priorities
eSafety prioritises investigation of material that shows or describes the sexual exploitation or abuse of children, pro-terror material and material that promotes, incites or instructs in matters of crime or violence.
More about child sexual exploitation material
If the sexual abuse of someone under 18 is recorded, that recording is illegal online content called ‘child sexual exploitation material’. Content that encourages or instructs people to sexually or physically abuse a child or exploit or groom them is also ‘child sexual exploitation material’.
eSafety works with law enforcement agencies and the global INHOPE network to remove child sexual exploitation material wherever it is hosted. Your reports make a difference – every image or video removed helps prevent the re-victimisation of the children involved.
Report child sexual exploitation material immediately. You can do this anonymously – that means you don’t have to give your name or contact details.
