We are excited to announce that registration is OPEN for the 2025 Virtual International Conference: A Call to Action to Change Child Welfare. This conference brings together child welfare professionals, individuals with lived experience, practitioners, advocates, policymakers, researchers, legal experts, community organizers, educators, youth leaders, and many others from around the globe—all working towards sustainable, transformative change.

The Global Scientific Conference on 21st Century Child Abuse is an invitation-only gathering of the world’s leading researchers on tech-facilitated child abuse in Rome, Italy, and scheduled for June 2026. The conference aims to survey the state of global research on this rapidly growing and little-understood phenomenon in order to identify research gaps and collaborative research opportunities.
