Information about the project
Project title *
IWF Image Hash List
Description *
The IWF Image Hash List is a collection of digital fingerprints (hashes) created from IWF-assessed images of child sexual abuse. It is a revolutionary tool that allows ICT companies to stop the upload, storage and sharing of “potentially millions” of child sexual abuse images online. The List can therefore contribute to the achievement of the SDGs, particularly in relation to the target of ending the abuse, exploitation and all forms of violence and torture of children, and the WSIS goals of building confidence and security in the use of ICTs and safeguarding the ethical dimensions of the Information Society.
