The urgent need for action against online harms

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, the safety and privacy of online users, especially children and youth, are increasingly at risk. The proliferation of new technologies and other unregulated innovations is outpacing our ability to implement effective safeguards, leaving users vulnerable to new and unforeseen threats.

Why we must act now

The challenges are immense and growing. Considering the breakneck speed at which the digital landscape is changing, isolated efforts are no longer enough. The lack of coordinated action and shared resources means that many organizations struggle to keep up, resulting in fragmented and insufficient protection. This gap leaves users, particularly the younger generation, exposed to significant risks.

Join us in making a difference

The SHIELD Global Online Safety Conference aims to bridge these gaps by bringing together a diverse group of stakeholders from around the world. By fostering collaboration and amplifying each other’s work, we can create a unified front to tackle online safety and privacy issues more effectively. This summit will not only educate and inspire but also empower participants to drive meaningful change in their communities. Together, we can ensure a safer digital future for all.
