Fundación ANAR se une a más de 100 organizaciones de derechos del niño para urgir a la Unión Europea a priorizar la seguridad de las personas menores de edad adoptando un extenso Reglamento sobre prevención y lucha contra el abuso sexual infantil (CSAR), alertando de que más retrasos y medidas incompletas incapaces de abordar toda la escala de esta problemática dejarán a millones de niños, niñas y adolescentes en riesgo. A través de una carta abierta de 109 firmantes, se llama a los legisladores a adoptar regulaciones eficaces y robustas para frenar el abuso sexual y la explotación infantil en Europa:
Dear decision-makers,
We, 109 signatories, urge you to put children’s online safety first and pass robust legislation to tackle child sexual abuse and exploitation across Europe.
The EU has a critical opportunity to be a world leader in protecting children online, but continued inaction and lack of ambition means Europe persists as a safe haven for perpetrators. Without strong laws, Europe will leave millions of children unprotected on online platforms and allow imagery of their abuse to circulate indefinitely online.
For more than three years, EU leaders have debated the Child Sexual Abuse Regulation (CSAR) – a law designed to protect children from online sexual abuse. In that time, Europe’s child sexual abuse crisis has escalated dramatically: reports of grooming, sexual extortion and AI-generated child abuse material have risen exponentially across Europe.
We are deeply concerned that efforts to protect children from sexual exploitation and repeated victimisation have been derailed by a campaign built on misinformation about the technologies involved, alongside a refusal to acknowledge the scale and nature of the harm this regulation is intended to address.
In Europe, more than three in five parents think that politicians and technology companies are not taking children’s online safety seriously enough. 4 in 5 EU citizens support requiring online service providers to detect, report, and remove child sexual abuse online. The CSAR is an essential step toward ensuring stronger protection for children against sexual abuse.
You have an opportunity to establish Europe as a global champion for children’s online safety. We urge you to advance an effective, comprehensive and ambitious text. Europe has both the potential and responsibility to lead by example.
Privacy and child protection are compatible. Children have the right not to have their bodily privacy violated, abused, and shared endlessly online. Every user has the right not to encounter traumatic and degrading pictures and videos of children being sexually abused. The solution is within your power.
We call on you, as our elected representatives, to act with ambition, put children first, and ensure a robust CSAR is promptly adopted. Together we can end the child sexual abuse crisis and protect children from further harm.
