The International Center ”La Strada” joins the global call to ban nudification tools and protect children from exploitation

Today, on Safer Internet Day, the International Center La Strada joins more than 100 signatory organizations, institutions, and individual supporters worldwide in calling for urgent action against nudification tools — technologies designed to create non-consensual nude and abusive images, disproportionately targeting children and women.

These tools fuel sexual exploitation, blackmail, and harm, yet remain widely accessible without consequences. Together with Child Helpline International, INHOPE, Internet Watch Foundation, National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, Offlimits, Safe Online, and WeProtect Global Alliance, we call for:

• Global recognition of the irreversible harm caused by these tools.
• Holding technology companies accountable for implementing built-in “safety-by-design” protections.
• The legal prohibition of the development, distribution, and use of nudification applications and features.
