Targets: In youth-led research, the topics often cover online safety and digital inclusion. Digital inclusion aims to provide access to digital resources, such as education, to everyone, which is closely related to SDG 4 of providing equitable quality education for all. When discussing online safety, the elimination of sexual abuse and inappropriate materials for children of all genders aligns with SDG 5 of promoting gender equality. Youth-led research is a powerful method for empowering young people to raise awareness of internet-related issues and engage in internet governance discourse. Through the research process, it also supports the advocacy of SDGs.
