The End Violence Against Children is accepting calls to strengthen country-level capacity, cross-sector collaboration, and international cooperation based on existing multi-stakeholder frameworks and networks, and in alignment with national efforts to tackle other forms of violence against children to enable more effective and coordinated prevention and response to online child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA).
