Why UNICEF Australia is advocating for online safety
By the age of 12, every single Aussie child will be online (Bravehearts 2023).
Today's children are the first true digital natives. Born into a world of constant connectivity and smartphones, they will have an online presence almost from birth. They occupy online spaces more than any other group, making the design of these spaces crucial for their development and wellbeing.
UNICEF is dedicated to improving digital environments and keeping children safe online through cutting-edge research, programming, and listening to young people's voices. As a trusted advisor to governments and tech industry, we bridge these worlds in ways few organisations can.
Given young people's unique developmental vulnerability, UNICEF Australia has made online safety and digital wellbeing a key focus. We are committed to creating a safer, more positive online experience for all children.
