Campaigners are calling for governments around the world to treat child sex abuse as a global health emergency like Covid.

A new UK-based institute, Childlight, says voluntary action by the tech sector has failed to halt an increase in the abuse of children worldwide.

It argues the issue should be dealt with in the same way as a pandemic.

It says there should be global co-operation between governments, law enforcement, and the tech sector.
