We use our data and technical expertise
Our flagship Into The Light global index exposes the scale of abuse globally, including in hidden and vulnerable populations. Our other key project, Searchlight, investigates the nature of the pandemic, including emerging risk factors so they can be prevented and mitigated early.

Vision
To have CSEA recognised as a global health issue that can be prevented and treated.
