🎯 How are the stakeholders collaborating on national, regional, and global levels? What are some of the main examples?
Protecting children online requires the involvement of all stakeholders, who must act together in an effective and coordinated manner to safeguard children online, and to combat online child sexual abuse. Ongoing efforts, which are particularly relevant in the fight against child sexual abuse, include:
- Public-private partnerships, such as the WePROTECT Global Alliance; the Global Partnership to End Violence Against Children; and the Alliance to Better Protect Minors Online.
- Financial coalitions, such as the US Financial Coalition Against Child Sexual Exploitation and the Asia-Pacific Financial Coalition Against Child Sexual Exploitation.
- Industry alliances, such as the Technology Coalition, and GSMA’s Mobile Alliance Against Child Sexual Abuse Content.
- UN agencies, such as UNICEF, UNESCO, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the ITU, and the ITU/UNESCO Broadband Commission, including its Working Group on Child Online Safety.
- National NGOs, which may cooperate through international networks, such as ECPAT International, and ICMEC.
- Children’s helplines and NGOs, such as Child Helpline International and Childnet International.
Other regional and global initiatives and organisations focusing on child online safety, such as the Better Internet for Kids, EU Kids Online and Global Kids Online.
