Within the framework of the Seeing the Unseen project, Republikon conducted primary research in the Visegrád Four countries with the aim of providing a clear picture of the extent and nature of digital harms affecting children, so that coordinated action can be taken on this issue at national, regional, and global levels. While it is widely acknowledged that children's 4
experiences are often shaped through and mediated by interactions with digital technologies, there is insufficient reliable, comparable, and comprehensive data to adequately understand children's experiences in digital environments, quantify and contextualise technology-facilitated risks, and reveal the extent and nature of harms. This makes it difficult to prevent, interrupt, and effectively respond to abuse and exploitation. This gap is what our project and the quantitative research carried out within its framework aim to fill.
