About our SID activities
This Safer Internet Day, UNICEF is elevating children’s voices and driving momentum for stronger laws, policies, and practices that protect children in a rapidly evolving digital environment.
We have released a new issue brief on AI and child sexual abuse and exploitation, outlining priority areas for urgent action. We are also sharing our recent policy brief on online platform regulation to help policymakers design regulatory frameworks for child rights and safety that are locally relevant while aligned with global standards. In addition, we are promoting our Toolbox for Child Rights Impact Assessments (D‑CRIA), which supports companies in building safer products and features from the outset.
To help parents and caregivers guide children through the digital world, we are highlighting expert tips and practical resources from the Parenting Hub’s digital parenting section.
Finally, we are launching a new global U‑Report poll to hear directly from children and young people – capturing their views on the apps and platforms they use, what shapes their experiences (including the role of AI), and what needs to change to make these spaces safer and more supportive of their rights.
What we are doing to create a better internet...
UNICEF harnesses the power of the digital environment to advance children’s rights, while supporting governments and other partners to anticipate and address emerging digital risks. Our work spans support to legal and policy reform, education, capacity development, and systems strengthening, ensuring that child protection keeps pace with technological change.
We lead and support multi‑country research to understand how children engage with digital technologies in their daily lives. By working closely with businesses, civil society, and other key stakeholders, we examine both the challenges and opportunities that digital innovation presents for children’s rights. We also analyse the implications of emerging and frontier technologies on children’s safety, well‑being, and participation. Drawing on these insights, UNICEF provides evidence‑based guidance and forward‑looking policy recommendations for governments and industry. We convene diverse actors to foster dialogue and collective action, and we raise awareness of the evolving child rights issues that must be addressed to make the digital world safer, more inclusive, and more empowering for every child.
Central to our approach is working with and for children, ensuring their voices, experiences, and priorities shape the policies, products, and digital ecosystems that affect their lives.
About us
UNICEF works in over 190 countries and territories to save children's lives, to defend their rights, and to help them fulfil their potential, from early childhood through adolescence. And we never give up.
