The Canadian Centre for Child Protection’s support team offers support services to those who have been sexually victimized online. This may include, but is not limited to, those who have had sexual abuse images shared online, those who have been victimized by luring, sextortion, or the non-consensual distribution of intimate images. Our team is here to help:

  • disrupt the availability of abusive or harmful material online;
  • connect survivors and caregivers to additional support;
  • survivors navigate and coordinate multi-system responses;
  • assist victims of online exploitation with victim impact statements for criminal proceedings.

You can learn more about how we support survivors and their families by visiting https://protectchildren.ca/en/survivor-support/ or emailing us at survivors@protectchildren.ca.
