Project Intercept's Online Abuse Prevention
Project Intercept's Online Abuse Prevention
Trigger for Change
New figures from our colleagues at Lucy Faithfull Foundation, providers of Stop It Now! UK and Ireland, shows the huge potential for prevention through partnerships between specialist NGOs and tech companies.
After working with platforms like Google and TikTok to implement warning messages for people searching for sexual images of children, users on these platforms have triggered warnings more than 70 million times. 700,000 people have clicked through for support to change their behaviour through Stop It Now.
Tech companies can not only respond after harm occurs, but actively prevent harm
from happening and promote behaviour change.
We’re grateful to see Prevention Global launch UNDERSTANDING HARM, a multi-year research initiative designed to strengthen the quality of data on child sexual abuse perpetration and risk factors around the world.
Our platform for youth, whatsok.org, continued to expand its reach as a trusted, judgment-free resource for people ages 14 -21 navigating complex questions about sexual thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Review WhatsOK's 2025 analytics to see how people are reaching out earlier, seeking guidance before harm occurs, and finding support when they need it most.
A series of new Blogs are available on our website for youth with questions about their or a friend's sexual thoughts, feelings, or concerns - What's OK?.
