About our SID activities
On this Safer Internet Day, February 10, 2026, ECPAT Taiwan has brought together government officials, legislators, tech industry leaders, and youth representatives to address a critical and urgent issue: the threat of AI technology to child sexual exploitation.
Our frontline observations reveal a sobering reality:
- Web547 Reporting Hotline: The abuse of Generative AI has emerged as a new method for grooming and exploitation.
- Web885 Consultation Hotline: Requests for help regarding non-consensual intimate imagery remain the majority, reflecting a surging demand for image removal and long-term psychological support.
In the face of this escalating digital crisis, we can no longer afford to ignore the risks associated with AI. ECPAT Taiwan is committed to joining international efforts to promote the safe and responsible use of AI across three key pillars: policy protection, educational implementation, and digital development.
We are stepping into schools and reaching out to families. Through both online courses and on-site workshops, we strive to empower teachers and parents with the tools to identify AI-related risks and guide children safely through the digital age.
What we are doing to create a better internet...
In Taiwan, over 3,000 youths fall victim to exploitation annually. Trend data from the ECPAT Taiwan Web885 Helpline indicate that sextortion and grooming remain the top threats, with a significant rise in male victims.
To respond, ECPAT Taiwan is equipping the next generation with practical prevention tools:
- Modular Curriculum: Ready-to-use, classroom-tested materials for grades 7–12 to address intimate imagery risks.
- Interactive Learning: A new Cyber Dating Risk board game designed for grades 4–6 to help students spot grooming tactics early and practice safer choices.
Our goal is Digital Resilience—the ability to stay calm under pressure, make sound decisions, and show empathy to protect others. With stronger digital defenses, young people can explore online spaces more safely and become a positive force in the digital world.
