Kate J. Sim

(she/her)

I am an expert researcher, advisor, and convener who specializes in the intersection of child safety, sexual violence, help-seeking, and tech policy. I direct the Children's Online Safety and Privacy Reserach (COSPR) program. I am a Visiting Scholar at UCLA DataX and School of Law.

I have over 15 years of experience in advocacy and organizing, research, and policymaking across academia, government, and industry in Australia, the EU, South Korea, the UK and the US. Previously, I worked at Google as a product policy specialist on child safety, focusing on issues like non-consensual intimate imagery, financial sextortion, grooming, and help-seeking journeys for people impacted by harmful sexual behaviors. I hold a PhD and MSc from the Oxford Internet Institute and a BA in Gender and Sexuality Studies from Harvard University.
