Children growing up in the digital age are increasingly exposed to risk of sexual abuse and exploitation online. Project 2KNOW aims to understand these crimes and build sustainable and effective mechanisms to support victims and their families.
In the second webinar of the four-part Project 2KNOW webinar series, researchers from the Finnish child-rights NGO, Protect Children, and the University of Eastern Finland share about the innovative data gathering model used in the 2KNOW project. The data collection model has been developed to collect data on online crimes of sexual violence against children.
Speakers:
- Anna Ovaska, Deputy Director at Protect Children and 2KNOW Project Coordinator
- Tegan Insoll, Head of Research at Protect Children
- Dr Hanna Lahtinen, Lecturer at the University of Eastern Finland
- Nina Vaaranen-Valkonen, Executive Director of Protect Children
