In this webinar, attendees will learn about Terre des Hommes' 2026 project, Mental Health and Exploitation: New Directions (MEND)
During this 1-hour event, attendees will get a chance hear about Terre des Hommes' newest report, Caught in a Cycle, which examines the cyclical relationship between emotional distress and (online) child sexual abuse and exploitation, and provides insight on how to disrupt this cycle. An expert panel will then explore how mental health and online spaces shape children's vulnerability, and the very different experiences of children who are so often left out of the data, the policy conversation, and the protection systems meant to serve them.
For all queries, contact the organiser.
