What happened: The Echo project will assist child sexual abuse victims in England and Wales to identify and remove online images of their abuse. The scheme also offers trauma support, victim impact statements in court, and access to compensation.
Why it matters:
- It aims to reduce the ongoing trauma caused by the circulation of abuse images online.
- Victims who have reported abuse to the police will receive comprehensive support throughout legal and recovery processes.
MNN Take: This initiative provides a coordinated approach to help survivors manage the digital impact of abuse and access legal and emotional assistance.
