Online spaces that connect us, like social media and games, are also used to exploit children. The UN Cybercrime Convention is the first global treaty to criminalize online child grooming, giving governments stronger tools to protect children from sexual abuse and exploitation.

A hospital paralyzed by ransomware. A child exploited for profit. An endangered animal trafficked across borders. Different crimes. Different victims. But the culprit is the same: organized crime networks. To #StopOrganizedCrime, we must follow the money.

A trafficked artefact is more than lost art, it’s cultural identity stolen for illegal profit. Trafficking in cultural property erases our heritage and provides a source of funds and money laundering for organized crime & terrorist groups. Follow the money. #StopOrganizedCrime.

Migrant smuggling is a global criminal business built on human desperation. Smugglers prey on those fleeing conflict, charging high prices for dangerous journeys that too often end in tragedy. Driven by profit, they turn human suffering into profit. #StopOrganizedCrime
