What they argued
Child Helpline International is a network organisation for child helplines, registered as a foundation ("stichting") in The Netherlands. Our child helpline members are independent organisations, and our membership comprises more than 160 members from over 140 countries and territories around the world. This includes 30 members in 27 EU member states.
Child Helpline International (CHI) is the global network of over 150 child helplines in more than 130 countries, including all 27 EU Member States. We echo other experts' observation of a rise in the use of social media and gaming platforms to recruit children into criminal activities accelerated by AI expansion, weakened content moderation, and end-to-end encryption.
