Cybersex trafficking is a form of modern slavery that
was unimaginable before the digital age. Cybersex
trafficking is the live sexual abuse of children streamed via the internet,
set up by adults who receive online payments from predators and
pedophiles located anywhere in the world.
The Philippines government made rapid strides in its fight against
sex trafficking since IJM arrived in Cebu in 2006. One independent
study found 79% fewer children being sold for sex in metro Cebu after
four years of IJM’s collaborative work. Now, law enforcement officials
need specialized training and support as they investigate and rescue
children from cybersex trafficking, and survivors need specialized
aftercare services and a long-term support system to thrive in freedom.

THE FACTS
The Philippines
receives
thousands of
cybersex trafficking case
referrals a month from the
U.S. alone.1
54% of victims rescued in
IJM cases are 1-12 years
old. The average age of
commercial sex trafficking
victims was 16-17 years old.2
Pedophiles and predators
pay $20 to $150 for a “sex
show” broadcast online.3
We rescue victims by helping Philippines authorities and
international law enforcement agencies identify and remove children
from the places and people who are forcing them to perform sex acts
for live or recorded shows broadcast online.
We bring perpetrators to justice. We help police investigate
and document evidence so criminals exploiting children in front
of webcams and profiting from the abuse are restrained. We help
prosecutors press charges and navigate the anti-trafficking and
cybercrime laws so impunity ultimately ends and others are deterred.
We restore survivors by creating customized care plans for each
child. Cybersex trafficking victims have unique needs, tend to be
quite young, and there are more boys than in bar- or street-based
trafficking. Many survivors need to spend time in a shelter before
returning home to their family or community. In addition to providing
direct care and counseling, we are developing best practices and
pioneering new tools for shelters handling cybersex trafficking cases.
We strengthen justice systems by providing hands-on mentoring
and training for law enforcement and court officials investigating and
reviewing criminals cases, and we equip social services and partner
organizations that provide aftercare for sex trafficking survivors.

ACTING DIRECTOR
JOHN TANAGHO
“Battling the evils of cybersex crimes is a
present-day challenge that is so difficult to
combat, not only because they are preying
on young children, but because they are
concealed right inside their homes.”
