Albania Safer Internet Day Committee - Safer Internet Centre Albania

iSIGURT is working closely with SID and INHOPE to make continuous progress regarding the improvement of internet safety especially for children and young people. This year most of the efforts have been focused on the establishment of the National Committee on Internet Safety that will bring together Government authorities, law enforcement, CSO's and the industry to work together for making the internet better and safer.

We will continue to work closely with professionals in schools and public spaces where children are present with the aim of raising their awareness on risks children and young people face while online, how to protect themselves and where to report incidents.

Finally, we are engaging politicians and MPs of the Parliamentary group "Friends of Children", at the Albanian Parliament to start to improve the legal framework regarding online crimes against children and youth. 

What we are doing to mark the 20th anniversary of Safer Internet Day…

iSIGURT.al aims this year to engage a larger number of CSO's to celebrate and raise awareness in wider groups of the society when it comes to the SID and internet safety, including the engagement of children and young people themselves to propose measures that they believe makes them safer online.

National Platform for Safer Internet in Albania (iSIGURT.al) works to empower children, parents, teachers and citizens for better and positive use of Internet and other forms of communications , while act as a National Hotline on Internet Safety for reporting CSAM, hate speech and crimes, online bulling etc.

In Albania, Safer Internet Day (SID) is supported and led by CRCA/ECPAT Albania, the leading agency behind National Platform for Safer Internet in the country.

CRCA/ECPAT Albania works since 2005 to make the internet safer for children, youth and citizens in overall. In 2015, it established the National Platform for Internet Safety (National Hotline), www.ISIGURT.al, where everyone can report incidents of online safety, child sexual abuse material (CSAM), sexual exploitation, bullying, and so on.

Every year on the SID we publish the Annual Report on Internet Safety in Albania, which is a bi-lingual publication sharing analytical and statistical information on all the reported incidents of CSAM, hate crimes, online bullying etc. An internet safety conference / workshop is organised every year with the participation of the authorities, CSOs, industry, and experts to design common actions for better and safer internet in Albania
