About our SID activities
ECPAT Taiwan will host an Internet Safety Day outreach event featuring interactive online safety knowledge games. Children and parents are invited to participate in these fun and engaging challenges to enhance digital citizenship within families.
What we are doing to create a better internet...
ECPAT Taiwan, as a child protection NGO, urges all stakeholders to prioritise the best interests of children and adolescents in creating a safer online world. On Safer Internet Day, we emphasise the crucial role of digital literacy and technology in combating online child sexual exploitation and abuse (OCSEA).
Digital literacy:
- Empowerment: Equip children and adolescents with critical thinking skills to navigate the digital landscape safely and responsibly.
- Awareness: Educate parents, caregivers, and educators about online risks, prevention strategies, and available resources.
- Collaboration: Foster partnerships between schools, communities, and organisations to deliver comprehensive digital literacy programs.
Technology and AI:
- Proactive measures: Tech companies should invest in and deploy advanced technologies, including AI, to detect and prevent OCSEA.
- Early detection: AI-powered tools can help identify and flag suspicious online activities, such as grooming, sextortion, and the distribution of child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
- Collaboration: Strengthen collaboration between tech companies, law enforcement agencies, and NGOs to facilitate swift and effective responses to OCSEA cases.
Joint responsibility:
- Shared commitment: All stakeholders must commit to creating a safer online environment for children and adolescents.
- Collective action: Governments, tech companies, NGOs, and individuals must work together to address the challenges of OCSEA.
Together, we can build a better internet where children and adolescents can thrive.
