Featured Story
Meet Joy, a survivor of online sexual violence and a passionate advocate for an end to this crime.
Joy* was 10 when a family friend in the Philippines began abusing her. The abuse was livestreamed through a screen just like this one. Joy suffered sexual abuse and violence for almost seven years, until IJM partnered with police to bring her to safety.
Today, Joy is a licensed social worker, happily married and speaks out internationally to stop violence against women and girls. Learn more about this crime in the BBC documentary 'Hunting the Online Sex Predators'.
