Help us save the children
One in ten children are sexually abused before the age of 18. Defenders For Children is on a mission to save the children and stop those who hurt them!
Sex trafficking, child pornography, and sextortion is on the rise
The United States is one of the worst offenders worldwide in creating and purchasing child abuse material, images, and videos, involving child pornography and child sex trafficking.

The U.S. is a top destination for child sex trafficking, and It’s happening in your community
Over 500,000 online predators are active each day, hunting for their latest victims. Predators know children are naive and very trusting. Most of the time, victims are trafficked by someone they know, such as a friend, family member, or romantic partner. Predators are patient. They pretend to care, and threaten children to do what they want.

Did you know?
The rise of AI is making it easier to generate child pornography, and the more that is out there, the more normalized this becomes. The more child pornography is being normalized, the more victims are in danger.
In 2023, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children Cyber Tipline received 36.2 M reports of suspected child sexual exploitation. This included more than 104 M files of alleged sexual abuse material (CSAM).
Forced commercial sexual exploitation generates 172.6 billion dollars in annual illegal profits. (ILO, 2024). Sex trafficking has been reported in all 50 U.S. states. (Polaris, 2023)
The sexual abuse & exploitation of children is a topic barely palatable for most. It is happening in every community and across all socioeconomic levels in many cases, evolving into long-term sexual abuse. The CyberTipline receives reports about multiple forms of online child sexual exploitation. Reports regarding CSAM, legally referred to as child pornography, make up the largest reporting category.

Technology is fueling the problem
Sex traffickers and child abusers utilize cameras and hard-to-find digital storage devices to engage in illegal activities, such as creating and distributing child sexual abuse materials.
Law enforcement agencies face significant challenges in finding hidden storage devices used to prosecute offenders.
How we stop it
Electronic detection dogs find evidence used to prosecute sex traffickers
Defenders For Children assists law enforcement by raising funds to acquire, train, and place electronic detection dogs with law enforcement agencies around the USA. Child pornography is often saved on small digital devices, usually missed by human law enforcement officers, but our electronic sniffing dogs can find this valuable evidence, helping to convict abusers and break the cycle of abuse.

Every year, the South Carolina Secretary of State honors several charitable organizations as “Angels.” The Secretary of State considers organizations which use at least 80 percent of their contributions for charitable services, have been in existence for three years or more, make good use of volunteer assistance, and do not rely heavily on government grants or grants from other organizations.
