The emergence and evolution of social media and technology poses challenges in the prevention of child sexual exploitation and abuse. This issue is not successfully addressed by the existing techno-legal apparatus and is posing risks to the children. In India, CSAM files are illegal and constitute an offense under Section 67(B), IT Act 2000. The technology has also made available various tools and techniques, to the predators who are always ready to groom and exploit teenagers & circulate their indecent images / videos. This research work has been carried out to assess a qualitative estimate of the quantum of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) circulated in Indian Cyberspace using peer-to-peer technology. Although CSAM is legally banned, many unique IP addresses were found to be distributing a total of 27,00,08,502 disturbing material depicting the sexual abuse of children distributed over 7 torrents spreading over 29 States and 5 Union Territories.

Background The rapid spread of COVID-19 renewed the focus on how health systems across the globe are financed, especially during public health emergencies. Development assistance is an important source of health financing in many low-income countries, yet little is known about how much of this funding was disbursed for COVID-19. We aimed to put development assistance for health for COVID-19 in the context of broader trends in global health financing, and to estimate total health spending from 1995 to 2050 and development assistance for COVID-19 in 2020.
