Genevieve Bloxsom

Genevieve Bloxsom is a researcher and child protection practitioner dedicated to enhancing the understanding of coerced "self-produced" child sexual exploitation material (CSEM). She is currently finalising her PhD at the University of Melbourne in the Department of Social Work, supported by a Power to Kids scholarship. Genevieve's research focuses on how children are financially coerced to "self-produce" child sexual exploitation material, with a focus on understanding how this form of exploitation can be identified, disrupted and prevented. She is passionate about research methodologies that empower children to influence practice enhancements, and believes the risk of child sexual abuse and exploitation can be reduced when children and adult victim/survivors are respected and listened to. Genevieve is also a Senior Advisor at Queensland Child Safety.
