Interpol's initiative against child sex abuse

In News 
  • The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has joined Interpol's International Child Sexual Exploitation (ICSE) database that will allow Indian authorities to collaborate with international investigators in detecting child sex abuse online and identifying abusers using specialised softwares.
About the Initiative 
  • The ICSE database uses video and image comparison to analyse Child Sex Exploitation Material (CSEM) and make connections between victims, abusers and places.
  • Avoids duplications and enables collaboration: The database avoids duplication of effort and saves precious time by letting investigators know whether a series of images have already been discovered or identified in another country, or whether it has similar features to other images.
  • Statistics show that in India, every 155 minutes, a child under 16 years of age is raped. Parents of sexually abused children are scared to tell anyone due to fear of being shamed in society.
  • Previously, CBI had set up ‘Online Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation Prevention/Investigation (OCSAE) unit for using CSEM data.
