The Interfaith Alliance for Safer Communities Addresses Child Exploitation in the Digital Age With Exhibit at Grand Central Terminal
"The launch of the 'Child Dignity in the Digital World' interactive exhibit at Grand Central Terminal is an important step to engaging a global dialogue on this difficult but very important issue. It is not just a discussion to be had only among experts, but with parents, children, educators, community leaders and concerned citizens wherever they may be," said Rabbi Diana Gerson , Founding Member of the Interfaith Alliance for Safer Communities. "Our hope is to educate viewers and shine a light on the horrific crimes that are taking place daily within the shadows of the web."
Notable leaders in attendance include:
The Interfaith Alliance for Safer Communities seeks to unite religious leaders from around the world through a series of bi-annual forums and global workshops in order to foster dialogue and take action to address important social challenges. Through "Child Dignity in the Digital World," they aim to raise awareness of online child abuse and exploitation, a hard-hitting global epidemic, by informing faith leaders on what they can do to combat them.

The Interfaith Alliance for Safer Communities was established to empower faith leaders to work for the safety and security of our communities, tackling issues such as child sexual abuse, extremism and radicalization, human trafficking, etc. We aim to facilitate the building of bridges between faiths, NGOs and experts in various domains. We are conscious to the importance of empowering faith leaders, both at the institutional and grass-root levels, with knowledge and to mobilize them to play an active role in community safety. Our current themes are 'Child Dignity in the Digital World' and 'Hate Crimes'.
