A/HRC/28/56 downloads child abuse material from another jurisdiction, or who makes it available to those within a jurisdiction, can be prosecuted for an appropriate offence. 2. Detection and reporting 47. As noted above, owing to its criminal and clandestine nature, the sale and sexual exploitation of children facilitated through new technologies is difficult to quantify. However, it is important that stakeholders identify opportunities to detect that type of exploitation of children in order to assist and protect victims. (a) Helplines 48. Helplines are invaluable in detecting and reporting abuse but also helping meet the right of the child to be heard and express his or her concerns. Child Helpline International is a global network of 179 child helplines in 143 countries covering all regions of the world. It is contacted approximately 14 million times by children each year.41 Europe accounted for most calls, which reflects knowledge of the helplines, the ability of children to easily access technology and the readiness of society to discuss those issues publicly. The Childline service developed by Childline India Foundation is another good example of child helplines.42 Globally, most calls came from girls, which shows that girls are more likely to be victims of exploitation. (b) Hotlines 49. Hotlines allow the reporting of exploitative practices, often starting the law enforcement process. Two particular good examples are the INHOPE network and the Virtual Global Taskforce. INHOPE is a network of 51 hotlines covering 45 countries, principally in Europe and North America but it also includes hotlines in South America, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Its sister organization, the INHOPE Foundation, provides assistance to countries to develop hotlines and comply with INHOPE standards. Four hotlines have so far been established by the Foundation in Colombia, Kazakhstan, Peru and Thailand. 50. The INHOPE network is dedicated to the eradication of child pornography. Each hotline receives reports of child pornography being hosted on the Internet. The hotline determines whether the pornography is hosted within the territory which it covers and, if so, the case is passed to law enforcement and Internet companies for them to remove the material from the web. If the case is not within the territory of the hotline, it is logged in the INHOPE Report Management System. The report is analysed to determine the likely host of the material and sent to the relevant authorities of the country concerned. 51. In 2013, INHOPE received over 1.2 million reports of illegal content and it identified nearly 40,000 unique images hosted on the Internet.43 The INHOPE network allows for fast results. In Europe, 98 per cent of reported content was passed to law enforcement within one day of being reported, and 91 per cent of material was removed from the Internet within three days.44 41 42 43 44 See Child Helpline International, Violence against Children: Child Helpline Data on Abuse and Violence from 2012 and 2013.
