G20 Policy brief: Online safety

Enhancing online safety

The digital revolution has outpaced safeguards, leaving millions of children vulnerable to online sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA). In 2023, over 105 million child sexual abuse material (CSAM) reports were filed, while online grooming cases surged by 300%. The rise of AIgenerated CSAM, deepfake exploitation, and algorithmic targeting further exacerbates risks. Without urgent action, children worldwide especially in the Global South will face escalating harm.

Call to action for G20 leaders (2025) We demand concrete commitments at the 2025 G20 Summit: 

  • Pass binding resolutions on child online safety at the 2025 Summit.
  • Allocate dedicated funding for enforcement and survivor support.
  • Endorse the AU Model Law and push for global alignment.
  • The future of digital children’s safety must be non-negotiable.
