The survey and research were prepared by the Empowering Children Foundation's researchers for WHO in years 2016-2017. The report was published in February 2018.

According to the latest research of the Empowering Children Foundation "Contact of children and teenagers with pornography" 43% of young people in Poland aged between 11 and 18 have contact with pornography (28% of them aged between 11 and 14). 18% of them at least once a week. Children, whose parents have not set any rules for using the Internet, find pornographic and sexual content twice more often. The intensity of contact with such content increases with the age of the respondents. The contact with pornography is varied due to sex - 50% of boys and 36% of girls have contact with such content.

On November 23, 2017 the Empowering Children Foundation launched its new campaign "Careful Parents". It highlights the central role of parental mindfulness in protecting children from online      threats, especially online grooming.

The report is a current diagnosis of child safety and development in Poland, where live 7 million of children (people under the age of 18). In the 314 pages report there are not only collected the most up-to-date information on children issues and problems or recommendations, but also identified areas of ignorance that are results of the lack of systematic collection of data.
