Get help

Find a service that can help a child or young person. Choose what is happening and, if you like, where you are. You do not need to give your name or any other details.

If a child is in danger now, call your local emergency number.
Choose a country below to see the number we have checked for it. There is no single number that works everywhere.

What is happening?

KIFOV is not a helpline. We point you to services that can act, and show when we last checked each one.

Or answer three short questions

Every question is optional. Nothing you choose is stored.

Who needs help?

Me A child I care about Someone else

What kind of help?

Where are you?

We never use your location. If your country is not listed with its own services, you will see international ones.

Countries with checked national services

We add a country only when we have checked each of its services ourselves. For anywhere else, start with the international services below; they work with local helplines and hotlines in many countries.

Take It Down

A free service that helps remove or stop the online sharing of nude, partially nude or sexually explicit images or videos taken of you before you were 18. It creates a digital fingerprint of the image on your own device, so you do not send the image to anyone, and you can stay anonymous. It works on public or unencrypted platforms that have agreed to take part.

Run by National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC)
