2023 Child Online Safety Index
The 2023 Child Online Safety Index (COSI) measures how safe children are online across different countries. It gives governments a clear framework of indicators to monitor and advance online safety for young people.
In 2023, 67% of respondents reported that children face online dangers — down from around 73% in 2022. While progress is being made, this figure underscores the ongoing need for robust safeguards.
