Better Internet for Kids

The main goal of the campaign and posters is to promote public awareness about child safety on the internet, with a particular focus on emotional violence in the online environment - cyberbullying. The messages conveyed in the posters encourage children, teenagers, and parents to call the Helpline and seek help if they encounter online violence. The campaign posters were distributed across social media platforms to raise public awareness about the online violence faced by children.

In porn, children and young people are confronted with many images and sex practices without being categorized. Porn is also often one-sided and clichéd when it comes to body ideals. Adults are fully aware that porn is mostly staged films with cast actors. For young people, on the other hand, the images can create enormous pressure and give them the feeling of being "wrong".

The klicksafe quiz "Sex, Diversity and Porn" asks questions about sexuality, puberty and pornography. For young people aged 14 and older.
