Safer Internet Day 2026 Nepal: Action For a Better Digital World
10th February 2026, Kathmandu
Join ChildSafeNet in celebrating Safer Internet Day 2026. Discover how we are protecting Nepalese children from online risks and how you can join the movement for a safer, more inclusive internet.
Safer Internet Day 2026 Nepal
Safer Internet Day is a global moment to turn shared concern about online harm into coordinated action for children and young people.
Safer Internet Day is observed worldwide every February to promote the safe, responsible, and empowering use of digital technologies, particularly for children and young people, while stimulating national and global conversations on online safety.
Now marked in over 180 countries and territories, the initiative is coordinated by the Insafe/INHOPE network, with the support of the European Commission and national Safer Internet Centres.
In Nepal, ChildSafeNet has led the national observance since 2019, serving as the focal organisation and national secretariat for Safer Internet Day.
Beyond awareness, the day is a call to action. It highlights the positive potential of digital technologies while underscoring our shared responsibility to prevent harm. Young people, parents and caregivers, educators, social workers, law enforcement, businesses, and policymakers all have a role to play in shaping a safer, more inclusive internet.
Safer Internet Day reminds us that online safety is not the job of any single actor. It is a collective effort. Join the movement, contribute to the conversation, and help make the digital world safer for every child.
Why Do We Need to Protect Children and Young People Online?
As digital technologies reshape daily life, children and young people face growing online risks that demand shared responsibility and collective action.
In the digital age, rapid advances in information and communication technology have reshaped how we learn, connect, and live. Alongside these benefits, however, come serious risks.
Children and young people, as some of the most active users of digital spaces, are especially exposed to online harms, including sexual abuse and exploitation, cyberbullying, phishing, and sextortion. Such experiences can have lasting effects on their mental health, confidence, and cognitive development.
Online safety is not the responsibility of any one group. Children and young people, parents and caregivers, educators, policymakers, and governments all have a role to play in building safer digital environments. Because online risks affect everyone who uses the internet, protecting children and young people requires coordinated, proactive action from all of us.
Let us work together for a better internet.

The private sector, including ISPs, could get involved by providing service and funding.
National and international organisations are requested to provide technical and financial support, as well as integrate cyber safety awareness in their projects.
