Collaboration with the National Commission for Rights of Children (NCRC)
For Safer Internet Day 2026, Digital Rights Foundation plans to collaborate with the National Commission for Rights of Children (NCRC) to highlight children’s rights and safety in digital spaces. Through a joint awareness push, we aim to promote age-appropriate digital literacy, safer online behaviour, and pathways for support when children experience online harm. This collaboration may include shared public messaging, a joint online session for parents/educators and young people, and co-branded resources to strengthen child-centred approaches to online safety.
My Digital Boundary
For Safer Internet Day 2026, Digital Rights Foundation plans to run a youth-focused awareness campaign centred on the idea of digital boundaries. The campaign will invite young people to reflect on and share one boundary they have set to protect their safety, privacy, or well-being online, such as blocking abusive accounts or limiting what they share publicly. We will connect this to current conversations about digital safety and tech responsibility by referencing recent incidents where AI systems, such as Grok on the X platform were used to generate and circulate non-consensual or harmful content, including manipulated intimate images that raised significant concerns about consent and online privacy; issues that show how important it is for users to understand and protect their digital rights. Through posts, short videos and simple explanations, the campaign will emphasise digital boundaries as a form of online self-care and personal agency, encouraging safer and more respectful online spaces.
Safer Internet Skills You Actually Use
Alongside this campaign, Digital Rights Foundation will share a series of practical digital safety tips focused on everyday online experiences. The content will cover simple, actionable skills such as securing privacy settings, responding to online harassment, supporting friends facing abuse, and knowing when to disengage online. Presented through short videos and visual explainers, the series aims to make internet safety accessible, realistic, and relevant for a wide audience.
What we are doing to create a better internet...
Digital Rights Foundation works to create a safer, more inclusive, and rights-respecting internet by combining direct support, digital literacy, and policy advocacy. Through our Digital Security Helpline, we support individuals experiencing online abuse with legal guidance, psychosocial support, and digital security advice. We also build awareness around privacy, consent, and online wellbeing through workshops, research, and public
campaigns. By engaging young people, educators, journalists, civil society, and policymakers, we aim to promote shared responsibility and collective action; working together to ensure that digital spaces are safe, empowering, and accessible for all.
About us
Digital Rights Foundation (DRF) is a Pakistan-based non-profit organisation working to advance digital rights, online safety, and inclusive access to technology. Established to respond to the growing social, political, and personal impacts of digital technologies, DRF focuses on ensuring that the internet remains a space that is safe, equitable, and empowering; particularly for women, children, journalists, human rights defenders, and other marginalised communities.
DRF’s work sits at the intersection of technology, gender, freedom of expression, and human rights. The organisation undertakes research, advocacy, capacity building, and direct support initiatives to address online harassment, digital surveillance, data protection, and emerging technology-related harms. A core part of DRF’s mission is to promote safer digital environments through rights-based approaches that prioritise user agency, privacy, and dignity.
One of DRF’s flagship initiatives is Pakistan’s first Digital Security Helpline, which provides free, confidential legal advice, psychological support, and digital security guidance to individuals experiencing online abuse. Alongside direct services, DRF works to strengthen digital literacy and critical thinking, equipping users with the skills needed to navigate online spaces safely and responsibly.
DRF also engages with policymakers, civil society, educators, media professionals, and technology platforms to advocate for laws, policies, and practices that protect users while upholding freedom of expression and access to information. Through national, regional, and international partnerships, DRF contributes to global conversations on digital safety, platform accountability, and the protection of fundamental rights online.
