Brief Description
The Parliament allocates permanent funding for the NGO: Save the Children Denmark which provides information, counselling and support for children and young people and that includes the national hotline “SletDet” targeted online sexual abuse. “SletDet” (in English “DeleteIt”) is run by Save the Children Denmark in collaboration with the Danish Crime Prevention Council and Sikkerchat.dk. Children can contact the national hotline online or by telephone and receive counselling. Furthermore children can get advice on how to get in touch with relevant authorities or social media if they are victims of online sexual abuse or sexually offensive behaviour, e.g. if self-generated sexually explicit images and/or videos or self-generated sexual content is unwillingly shared publicly online. Save the Children Denmark also provides information for children and young people on how to act and interact safely online via leaflets, on the NGO's website and by organising educational activities for school children in various age groups. Through the hotline, the aim is to both provide guidance and advice to children on online sexual abuse as well as help prevent it.
