No child should be exposed to harmful content.
UNICEF’s position is unequivocal: No child should be exposed to harmful content, online or offline.
The evidence is clear. Pornographic content can be extremely harmful to children. It can lead to poor mental health, sexism and objectification, sexual aggression and other negative outcomes.
UNICEF is alarmed by the massive quantity of pornographic content available online and easily accessible to children.
UNICEF works to promote children’s online safety.
UNICEF urges governments, the tech industry, schools, parents and communities to do everything in their power to protect children from all harmful content.
