INHOPE has introduced new Guidelines on Advocacy and Initiating Legislative Changes to support hotlines and other stakeholders in their advocacy and policymaking efforts.
As technology evolves, it presents new challenges in combatting online child sexual abuse material (CSAM). To address this, clear and comprehensive legislation is crucial for enabling hotlines and relevant stakeholders to quickly remove harmful content from the internet. The INHOPE Guidelines on Advocacy and Initiating Legislative Changes offer practical recommendations and strategies to advocate for improved national policies.
The guidelines cover best practices for every stage of an advocacy plan, from preparation and implementation to monitoring and evaluation. They also provide advice on critical aspects of the advocacy process, including building and maintaining stakeholder relationships. Additionally, the guidelines feature a template to help advocate for changing legal terminology from 'child pornography' to 'child sexual abuse material.'
