UNICEF published an annual report documenting their work and their achievements in 2022.

The Better Internet for Kids (BIK) Map was created to compare and exchange knowledge on policy making and implementation in EU Member States on the themes and recommendations of the European Strategy for a Better Internet for Children. The fourth report of the series was released in May 2023.

ECPAT Germany, Innocence in Danger, the German Children's Fund and the Digital Opportunities Foundation outlined their position on the EU regulation in a digital press conference on April 4. In their joint statement, which is based on the questionnaire of the Digital Committee of the German Bundestag, the organizations explain in detail that and how the protection of children from sexualized violence online and the right to privacy of all users can be realized in the digital environment.

To mark Safer Internet Day on 7 February 2023, Children's Rights.Digital and ECPAT Germany presented a new tool for identifying and preventing sexualized violence online. It enables providers and developers to assess the risks of their content and establish suitable countermeasures. It also provides educational professionals with valuable insights into the initiation and progression of such acts of violence in order to strengthen the safety of children and young people in the digital space. The tool is available for download and supports the integration of digital threats into existing protection concepts.
