ICMEC Australia’s September Brown Bag event featured Susanne Drakborg, Senior Programs Manager at World Childhood Foundation. Susanne has led the World Childhood Foundation’s Child Safety Online program for the past 17 years and is the team lead for their Stella Polaris initiative.
During the webinar, Susanne shared learnings from Stella Polaris - focused on using AI to enhance the fight against child sexual exploitation (CSE) - and her presentation highlighted the crucial role of prevention in addressing this issue. Susanne shared fascinating projects that Stella Polaris is implementing which creatively utilise AI to protect children, and the insights and experience she shared offered valuable lessons that we can apply in Australia to strengthen our global efforts against CSE.
