International Justice Mission (IJM) is pairing up with Tiktok to help fight trafficking in the Philippines.
"The #Report2Protect campaign is leveraging the platform, particularly influencers with large followings, to encourage the community reporting of online sexual exploitation of children and publicize police reporting hotlines in the Philippines," says IJM on their Instagram account.
There are few if any protections online provided by tech companies when it comes to material with or for children.
"We hope #tech companies will continue to join the fight - not only to report abuse but to detect it at the earliest stages to protect children from this hideous form of slavery."
The Connections podcast: real life, real faith
According to Business World, Both IJM and TikTok influencers will release educational videos that show the hotline of the Philippine National Police – Women and Children Protection Center (PNP-WCPC), to urge anyone with information to contact authorities at 0919-777-7377 and 0966-725-5961.
