A Summary Of 2022's Reporting Analysis

2023-07

People report to us at iwf.org.uk, or through one of the 50 Reporting Portals around the world, in multiple languages. All reports are assessed at our headquarters in the UK. We also actively search the internet for child sexual abuse imagery. We call this, ‘proactive searching’.

375,230 reports were assessed by IWF (4% increase from 2021): 375,153 were reports of webpages, and 77 were reports of newsgroups

(4% increase from 2021):

255,571 URLs (webpages) were confirmed as containing child sexual abuse imagery having links to the imagery or advertising it (1% increase from 2021). Each URL could contain one, tens, hundreds or even thousands of individual child sexual abuse images or videos.

Additionally, 17 newsgroup reports were confirmed as containing child sexual abuse imagery.

No reports were confirmed as UK-hosted

We use the term ‘actioned’ to indicate a report which was found to contain child sexual abuse material, which we therefore took a number of active steps to remove from the internet.

You can read more about UK-hosted and globally-hosted child sexual abuse material.
