SUMMARY:A holistic human rights approach to fighting child sexual exploitation in a financial institution
DESCRIPTION:Within financial institutions\, the financial crime team usually plays a leading role in fighting child sexual exploitation. However\, due to this crime type's complexity and ever-evolving nature\, a more holistic approach to child safeguarding and protection across financial organisations is needed. This approach creates greater meaningful change\, not just within the company\, but for the benefit of its customers and our broader society. \n\n\n\nThis month’s Brown Bag will showcase how Westpac Group has adopted a human rights lens above and beyond their financial crime work to proactively address child exploitation. Westpac’s efforts are led by a core mission to prevent exploitation from occurring in the first place. Their work focuses on strengthening human rights due diligence using a Safety by Design approach and raising awareness in collaboration with other partners and businesses. \n\n\n\nPresented by Dr Kavitha Suthanthiraraj and Natasha Menezes from Westpac Group’s Human Rights and Social Programs team\, the session will cover how Westpac used a human rights approach in designing the Safer Children\, Safer Communities program\, publishing their first Child Safeguarding Position Statement in 2021 (a first for an Australian bank)\, and how they continue to embed their child safeguarding commitments as part of their broader human rights program. \n\n\n\nPlease join us for this valuable session to hear Westpac Group share innovative strategies and tangible solutions to assist your organisation in its fight against CSE.  \n\n\n\nAbout Westpac’s Safer Children\, Safer Communities program \n\n\n\nThe Safer Children\, Safer Communities program involves a series of actions and investments designed to make a meaningful impact on child safety and protection. The program is delivered in Australia and across the Asia Pacific.  \n\n\n\nFor more information on Westpac’s Safer Children\, Safer Communities program\, please visit their website. \n\n\n\nYour Speakers\n\n\n\n\nDr Kavitha Suthanthiraraj\, Head of ESG\, Human Rights and Social Programs at Westpac\, has over 20 years of experience in strategy\, policy and sustainability roles across corporates\, international non-profits\, and academic institutions. Joining Westpac in June 2020\, Kavitha established and led the Safer Children\, Safer Communities work program\, and currently heads up a portfolio of human rights and social programs\, including modern slavery reporting. With a Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science\, Kavitha has published articles and reports across a range of human rights issues and has worked on several policy and advocacy initiatives during her career. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNatasha Menezes\, Executive Manager of Social Programs at Westpac\, has over 10 years’ experience in sustainability\, human rights\, and policy areas across consulting\, corporates\, and the not-for-profit sector. In 2021\, Natasha led the development of Westpac’s Child Safeguarding Position Statement and is currently focused on driving a cross-industry child safeguarding business coalition to share Westpac’s learnings with other Australian businesses. Her career spans a range of human-rights-focused work\, climate change\, sustainability strategy\, modern slavery\, and sustainability reporting. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for this event\n\n\n\nThis session will not be recorded\, so please join us live to ensure you don’t miss out on this valuable webinar.

SUMMARY:Stop It Now! Australia: The power of child sexual abuse perpetrator prevention services
DESCRIPTION:Discussions around child sexual exploitation (CSE) frequently revolve around identifying and responding to instances of abuse. However\, what can we do to prevent perpetration? \n\n\n\nIn 2023\, the University of NSW (UNSW)\, in partnership with Jesuit Social Services\, released the first national representative study\, Identifying and understanding child sexual offending behaviour and attitudes among Australian men. The study found around one in six (15.1%) Australian men reported sexual feelings towards children. Of these\, 29.6% of them wanted help for these feelings\, representing a shocking 4.5% of Australian men. \n\n\n\nThis month’s Brown Bag will focus on the importance of secondary prevention efforts in the fight to end child sexual abuse. Presented by Georgia Naldrett and Dee Nicholas from Stop It Now! Australia (an initiative of Jesuit Social Services)\, the session will provide a brief history of perpetration prevention\, findings from their 2023 perpetration prevalence study with UNSW\, and how they relate to Stop It Now!’s work. Georgia and Dee will also explore emerging trends from the perpetrator prevalence study and working with perpetrators via the Stop It Now! Australia helpline\, including what we know about their online behaviour (e.g. use of cryptocurrency\, pornography use etc.). \n\n\n\nRegistrations close on Monday\, 27th May at 12pm (AEST). \n\n\n\nAbout Stop It Now!\n\n\n\nStop it Now! is a program that offers an anonymous helpline\, chat and web resources for people concerned about their own sexual thoughts and behaviours towards children\, or for people concerned about the thoughts or behaviours of others. ICMEC Australia recently partnered with Jesuit Social Services to support the expansion and development of this prevention program in Australia. \n\n\n\nYour Speakers\n\n\n\n\nGeorgia Naldrett is the Stop It Now! Australia Manager within The Men’s Project at Jesuit Social Services. Within this role she applies her psychological and practice knowledge of sexual offending and child protection to aid in the prevention of child sexual abuse\, including leading the Stop It Now! helpline. Georgia is a psychology graduate with a BSc (hons) in Psychology and a MSc in Forensic Psychology from the UK. She has been employed in a variety of psychology roles where she developed her learning and application of rehabilitation and prevention\, including previously working at The Lucy Faithfull Foundation in the UK. \n\n\n\n\n\nDee Nicholas is the Senior Practitioner at Stop It Now! Australia\, where she uses her academic and practice experience and knowledge of offender rehabilitation and prevention to provide support\, advice and psychoeducation to prevent child sexual abuse. She holds a BSc in Psychology and a MSc in Forensic Psychology from Newcastle University\, UK. Dee has previously worked at Stop It Now! UK where she gained extensive knowledge of child protection and sexual offending\, and has worked in a variety of forensic and clinical settings. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for this event

SUMMARY:Research insights on child sexual abuse material offending among Australian adults
DESCRIPTION:While official reports of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) have grown rapidly in recent years\, less is known about how commonly CSAM is viewed and by whom\, due largely to the hidden nature of such offending. \n\n\n\nICMEC Australia’s February Monthly Brown Bag event features new insights from the Australian Institute of Criminology (AIC). Our presenter\, Dr Rick Brown\, will discuss the recent large-scale study by the AIC which explored the extent to which Australian adults intentionally viewed CSAM. Rick will also unpack the demographic factors that distinguished those who viewed the material and offer potential explanations and implications. \n\n\n\nRegistrations close on Tuesday\, 20th February at 5pm (AEDT). \n\n\n\n\nDr Rick Brown is the Deputy Director of the Australian Institute of Criminology\, where he oversees the day-to-day work of the Institute. He has been a criminologist for over 30 years and has worked on a wide range of crime and justice research projects in the United Kingdom\, the Republic of Ireland\, and Australia. He has published over 80 government reports\, book chapters and journal articles\, and recently published his first book\, with Routledge\, Eliminating online child sexual abuse material. Rick is also on the editorial boards of several academic journals. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for this event

SUMMARY:How cryptocurrencies can help play a role in detecting CSE facilitated online
DESCRIPTION:Our payment habits have drastically transformed in recent years\, especially since the development of cryptocurrencies and the blockchain. Digital currencies operate on a computer network\, decentralised from a typical financial institution. The innate characteristics of cryptocurrencies provide anonymity and privacy to perpetrators\, however\, a sense of being undetectable is false. \n\n\n\nICMEC Australia’s November Brown Bag event will cover a topical discussion for all those working in the child sexual exploitation response community. The trading of child sexual abuse material online is sometimes accompanied by a financial transaction\, so understanding the different payment methods that offenders use is key to knowing how to navigate our response to this crime. For a whole-of-system response to be successful\, expanding our knowledge and understanding of new technologies used by perpetrators is key. \n\n\n\nWith an increase in digital currencies as a method of payment\, the rapid advancements in this area since the introduction of the Blockchain in 2008 have grown the complexity of detecting suspicious payments.  Understanding how cryptocurrency operates and its differences from traditional banking structures is critical to applying frameworks to detect and prevent child sexual exploitation transactions.  \n\n\n\nOur presenter\, Luke McGoldrick\, comes from Chainalysis\, a global Blockchain Data Platform. He will outline cryptocurrency\, its capabilities\, and the ways it has the potential to intersect with online child sexual exploitation. Luke will cover the different types of crypto\, how they can be used to facilitate child sexual exploitation\, and will dispel the idea that digital payments made on the Blockchain are completely untraceable. \n\n\n\nPart of developing a robust response to child sexual exploitation online is to maintain pace with how offenders manipulate existing technologies to abuse and exploit children\, including the use of crypto and other digital payments. \n\n\n\n\nLuke McGoldrick is a Sales Director at Chainalysis responsible for financial institutions across Australia and NZ. In his role\, he is helping organisations maintain compliance across digital asset initiatives and assisting financial crimes teams in reducing scams and illicit activity where crypto is involved. Having been involved in crypto since 2018 Luke is a strong advocate for the importance of building trust in blockchains in order for the technology to fulfill its potential. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for this event

SUMMARY:ICMEC Australia Financial Symposium: Protecting Children Online
DESCRIPTION:Understanding the whole-of-organisation financial response to child sexual exploitation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nICMEC Australia invites you to our Financial Symposium to better detect\, report and prevent Child Sexual Exploitation. This exclusive event will address how the financial services industry can embed a whole-of-organisation approach to enhancing the fight against Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE). \n\n\n\nThe Symposium brings together leaders from financial crime\, ESG\, corporate affairs\, customer vulnerability and risk mitigation areas from within key financial services to gain insight from industry experts into trends and gaps in this growing human rights issue. This symposium provides an opportunity to share knowledge on data detection and network with like-minded industry colleagues.  \n\n\n\nAttendees will walk away from this event motivated and inspired\, with key insights to help establish a whole-of-system approach to combating CSE. \n\n\n\nWhy \n\n\n\nChild Sexual Exploitation facilitated online is one of the fastest-growing crimes globally\, with the UN estimating that approximately 750\,000 people access Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) online every second. \n\n\n\nTechnology is an incredible tool\, but it provides opportunities for everyone\, including perpetrators of CSE: \n\n\n\n\nJust last year\, the ACCCE reported a 100-fold increase in monthly child sextortion figures (December 2022)\n\n\n\nThe IWF reported that coerced self-generated CSAM rose by two-thirds in the first half of 2022\n\n\n\nDemand for live-streaming of Child Sexual Abuse in the Philippines sharply increased\, with possible reports to NCMEC more than doubling to 3.2 million from 2020 to 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMany of these crimes involve financial transactions which leave a trace\, providing data for financial crime analysts to detect and report. \n\n\n\nBut these crimes aren't just detectable\, they are also preventable\, and financial institutions can play a significant role in shifting the needle on this crime at both ends of the spectrum. \n\n\n\nTogether\, we can strengthen the fight against this heinous crime by looking at a whole-of-system approach to preventing and detecting CSE facilitated online. \n\n\n\nOur approach\n\n\n\nAn informative one-day conference\, this event will offer a balance between networking\, opportunities to learn\, and interaction with industry experts delivering key takeaways.  \n\n\n\nYou will leave with a stronger understanding of Child Sexual Exploitation and how it impacts the financial services industry across financial crime and risk\, as well as across a governance and social impact perspective.  \n\n\n\nWho is invited\n\n\n\nWe welcome decision-makers and leaders from Financial Services Industry organisations that facilitate payments and transactions through products and services that may be vulnerable to Child Sexual Exploitation risks. These institutions may include banks\, remitters\, payment platforms\, cryptocurrency exchanges and credit card companies. \n\n\n\nWithin these institutions\, the program will focus on two streams: \n\n\n\nFinancial Crime \n\n\n\nIf you are responsible for leading the identification\, mitigation and management of Financial Crime risks relating to Child Sexual Exploitation\, then our Financial Crime stream is suited to you. This could include subject matter experts leading functions in financial crime\, financial crime intelligence\, transaction monitoring\, customer due diligence risk mitigation or similar. \n\n\n\nESG & Human Rights\n\n\n\nIf you are responsible for leading your Financial Institution's Environment\, Social and Governance (ESG) and/or Human Rights strategy and performance\, you’re a leader in Customer Vulnerability or for setting organisational strategy at the Executive level\, our ESG & Human Rights stream is suited to you. \n\n\n\nPlease note: This knowledge-sharing day has a limited number of spots available and all applicants are subject to approval and must suit the seniority criteria above. \n\n\n\nWhy you should attend\n\n\n\n\nTo strengthen relationships in the CSE response community and network with colleagues from law enforcement\, banks\, academics and other corporate stakeholders \n\n\n\n\n\nAcquire key insights into key crime types\, including tangible information and takeaways that can create effective change in your organisation’s approach to combating CSE \n\n\n\n\n\nTo participate in open forums to discuss building positive change through safety by design\n\n\n\n\n\nUnderstand how to integrate CSE prevention and detection into your organisation \n\n\n\n\n\nTo uncover new insights & information\, and share best practice on preventing and tackling this crime in all its forms\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgram ↗ \n\n\n\nSpeakers \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSupporters\n\n\n\nThis event is proudly supported by Norton Rose Fulbright\, a key provider of pro bono legal services in Australia. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSupport the ICMEC Australia Financial Symposium\n\n\n\nIf you are interested in becoming a supporter of this event\, please contact RosieCampo\, ICMEC Australia's Head of Collaboration by emailingrcampo@icmec.org.au. \n\n\n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\nWe're starting off the event with the following speakers.

SUMMARY:‘Follow the money’: A collaborative approach to fighting CSE
DESCRIPTION:Buy a copy of Saving Our Kids \n\n\n\n\n\nFollowing the digital footprint left by the online activity of child sexual predators is key when it comes to protecting children from technology-assisted sexual abuse. But maintaining pace with the evolving tactics of offenders takes a networked approach. \n\n\n\nUnderstanding how each organisation fits into the jigsaw puzzle that is child protection requires cross-industry collaboration. ICMEC Australia’s September Brown Bag event will feature Madonna King and Jon Rouse APM in an in-depth discussion on the importance of collaboration - especially between two key industries in the fight against CSE\, law enforcement and financial institutions. \n\n\n\nThey will discuss the important role that financial institutions play in the response to child sexual exploitation\, and how their work forms an essential part of the evidence needed to find perpetrators and\, ultimately\, their victims. \n\n\n\nUnderstanding the perspectives and challenges faced by the different frontline defenders of children being harmed is essential in the fight against this heinous crime. Jon will share his insights from three decades of experience in law enforcement\, and a deep understanding of the impact that collaboration has on bringing about better outcomes for children. \n\n\n\nA renowned Australian journalist Madonna released her latest book Saving Our Kids during National Child Protection Week. The book tells the inside story of Taskforce Argos\, a renowned Queensland Police Force investigative team dedicated to prosecuting online child sex offenders and saving children from harm. Featuring the work of many of ICMEC Australia’s staff\, Madonna emphasises the important role of financial institutions in fighting CSE\, and will elaborate on this in her discussion with Jon. \n\n\n\nThis “global humanitarian crisis” can’t be ignored and whether you work at a financial institution\, regulator\, online platform\, law enforcement agency\, or not-for-profit\, you will gain great insights from this session. \n\n\n\nJoin us online on Wednesday 27th September at 1:00pm as Madonna and Jon engage in a meaningful conversation that will help guide your work in child protection\, and ultimately to enhance the detection\, reporting\, prosecution\, and prevention of online child sexual exploitation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYour speakers\n\n\n\n\nMadonna King is one of Australia’s most accomplished journalists\, having won awards for her ABC Radio Brisbane Mornings current affairs program.
