Beyond the screen: A digital world safe for every child
A joint call to action by allies and survivors: for every child to explore, learn and thrive
Sexual violence against children and adolescents is a pressing global issue. The consequences of child sexual exploitation and abuse are profound, leading to serious implications for children’s health, societal participation and economic prospects.
The digital world has amplified children’s exposure to sexual exploitation and abuse, exposing children to unprecedented risks.
We call upon all States, the tech industry and all relevant stakeholders to commit to prevent and end the sexual exploitation and abuse of children online and create a safer digital future for every child.
‘Beyond The Screen: Hidden Voices of Online Abuse’ is a survivor-centered short film highlighting the prevalence of online sexual violence around the world. Four individuals share their experiences and demands for what urgently needs to be done to protect children online.
The film showcases the powerful truth that violence, which might start in an online sphere, negatively impacts children in the physical world, such as bullying in school or acts of sexual violence perpetrated at home.
This is an escalating crisis. Help us raise awareness by hosting a screening of “Beyond the Screen: Hidden Voices of Online Abuse” in your own community.
