The INHOPE Expert Insights 2025 series brought together 468 participants for a powerful exchange of knowledge, insights, and strategies to strengthen the global fight against child sexual abuse material (CSAM) online. Across four sessions, professionals from tech, finance, and child protection explored how their sectors are addressing emerging threats and driving innovative solutions to protect children in digital spaces.


The series opened with the presentation of the INHOPE Annual Report 2024, while the remaining three webinars followed an interview-style setup: each brought together a speaker from Resolver Trust & Safety with representatives from gaming, social platforms, or the financial sector. Together, they explored how proactive, tailored efforts within each space are driving impact - and how combining forces strengthens us all.

The series began with a deep dive into the latest trends in the fight against CSAM, from INHOPE Project Manager Grete Raidma and Head of Technology and Innovation Kalina Zografska, who presented key insights from the INHOPE Annual Report 2024. They highlighted the continued rise in reports, the evolving threat of AI-generated CSAM, and the growing urgency to expand global hotline coverage. Their message was clear: international cross-sector collaboration remains essential to accelerating content removal and protecting children worldwide. Read the Recap

CSAM's Gordian Knot: challenges & opportunities in financial intelligence

In the final session, Henry Adams, Director at Resolver Trust & Safety, joined Sally Frank, Anti-Human Exploitation Programme Manager at Block Inc. and Megan Gonzales, their Global Head of Financial Crimes to discuss the growing role of financial intelligence in fighting child exploitation.

Block’s approach combines machine learning and human expertise to identify suspicious transactions linked to CSAM and trafficking.
