Watch the 2025 IWF Annual Data & Insights Report Launch

Published:  Thu 11 Jun 2026

Last month, we were privileged to be joined by industry leaders and global experts for the official launch of our 2025 Annual Data & Insights Report.

If you missed the live event in London or simply want to revisit the insights shared by our speakers, you can now watch the full UK launch event video below.

Behind the Data: What Was Discussed?

The launch events explored the most critical data trends observed by our Hotline over the past year, examining how systemic online vulnerabilities continue to be exploited at an unprecedented scale. Far from just numbers, the discussions focused heavily on the human reality behind the statistics, providing crucial perspectives from survivors, analysts, and specialists.

Key moments from the UK launch, hosted by Visa, include:

  • Campaigner and survivor Roxy Longworth, alongside her mother Gay, shared a powerful reflection on the long-term impact of internet abuse.
  • IWF Senior Analyst Rosa provided a deep dive into current online trends and the concrete steps being taken to disrupt the spread of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) online.
  • IWF Chief Executive Officer Kerry Smith led a dynamic panel discussion featuring experts from StopSo, Nominet, Visa and TikTok. The panel tackled emerging challenges, including AI-generated imagery and the urgent need for safe-by-design technology.

The insights from both launches underscore a clear message: tackling these evolving threats requires urgent, collaborative cross-sector action.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Visa for hosting and sponsoring our UK launch and for their fantastic, ongoing support of our mission.
