Combining the science of child development and the political power of the CRC we propose to create GlobalChild; a tool that will facilitate monitoring of the policies and processes designed to support children’s rights, health, and development.
GlobalChild is a 5+5 YEARS International initiative Design and development of the tool 5 pilots worldwide Finalization of the tool 3 pilots and a protocol for CRC report writing CONVERSATION WITH THE UN CRC FOR THE ROLE OF GLOBALCHILD IN CRC REPORT WRITING GLOBALLY

4. It provides a system for Alternative reports; GlobalChild will provide a tool for NGOs and child rights advocates to take a closer look at specific rights
The Reporting Clusters: • General measures of implementation • Definition of the child • General principles • Civil rights and freedoms • Violence against children • Family environment and alternative care • Disability, basic health and welfare • Education, leisure and cultural activities • Special protection measures
5. It harmonizes the task of CRC report writing by providing a single reporting tool for all SPs and all regions of the decentralized SPs.
6. GlobalChild will become an invaluable, national and then, global, database of child rights policies and programs and their impact on child health and development in different countries, at different points in time

A Global Problem More so than ever before, young people and children are accessing the internet. This is important for their individual, educational and social development. However, those seeking to exploit and abuse children online are determined in their crimes. And they do this globally, across national borders. @IWFhotline @SemaTanzania
IWF Global Trends for 2017 78,589URLs containing child sexual abuse images or videos removed. 2,909disguised website used to hide CSAI (86% increase from 2016). 112% increase of child sexual abuse website brands. More severe abuse: The rape and sexual torture of children – known as online ‘Category A’ content – accounted for 33% of all content. @IWFhotline @SemaTanzania
Internet access in Tanzania • A recent study on Tanzanian adolescents (age 14-18) shows that: • 86% are connected to the internet, and 47% own a cell phone; • 41.5% of students reported to have cyberbullied others online (more males 46% than females 37%); • 57.5% students reported to have been victimized online (more males 60% than females 55%). • Researcher: Dr. Hezron Zacharia Onditi, • Dar es Salaam University College of Education • Findings: • Children are surrounded by ICT from a younger age with adolescents as the largest users; • Cyberbullying by peers, friends and strangers is a growing problem of concern for students (both males and females); • Early and continuous education and intervention programs on online safety are needed. @IWFhotline @SemaTanzania
C-Sema & IWF Partnership C-Sema: Who are we? We are the Tanzanian CSO giving a voice to children to shape the world and realise their rights. C-Sema: What do we do? We operate the free 116 helpline. We voice their concerns to Government and we host Tanzania’s IWF Reporting Portal to remove child sexual abuse images online. C-Sema: What is our driving vision? Protecting and voicing concerns of vulnerable children to policy and decision-makers. IWF: Who are we? We are the UK’s hotline for reporting and removing online criminal child sexual abuse images and videos. IWF: What do we do? We offer a place to securely and anonymously report this content. We then analyse imagery against UK law to assess whether it is unlawful. IWF: What is our driving vision? The global elimination of child sexual abuse imagery online.
