AI project should stop abuse of children
Through new technology that more easily identifies perpetrators and victims, the goal is for fewer children to be exposed to sexual abuse online. The project is called Stella Polaris and is a virtual defense force for vulnerable children. It is carried out by the World Childhood Foundation and funded by the Swedish Postkodlotteriet. No similar initiative exists yet, but will be created during the four years the project runs.

Jonas Gardell, the co-founder of Regnbågsfonden, at his social media
"Queen meeting! Or what do you say? Today, Regnbågsfonden and Childhood conducted a full-day roundtable discussion with children's rights organizations, the LGBTQ movement, authorities, denominations and researchers to draw attention to boys and LGBTQ children who are exposed to sexual abuse. It has taken 2 years to prepare for this conference and I hope it will give rings on the water this year in the future to never make these children invisible again. And Queen Silvia was with us all day! Thanks to everyone who participated!"
