About  [Edit]

KINSA, incorporated as the Kids’ Internet Safety Association in 2005 and now known as the Kids' Internet Safety Alliance, was established as an aggressive and proactive response to the negative aspects of the Internet that harm young people. While addressing this grave social problem, KINSA also acknowledges and celebrates the positive, creative and inspiring ways children and youth are using the Internet. Read more here about the KINSA launch.

KINSA’s unique expertise in law enforcement, prosecution, business and technology ensures our ability to achieve necessary results with government, industry and other partners. KINSA’s advocacy efforts as well as our training, research, and awareness initiatives will result in an increasingly effective and collaborative response to the abhorrent behaviour of those who prey on young people online. Details of our initiatives and successes will be available in this forum.

KINSA is about:

Advocacy: We work with government and industry to help protect children from being exploited in online environments provided by new technologies, as well as initiate and respond to policy changes.

Awareness: We raise awareness of these issues with kids, parents, teachers, business leaders and political leaders.

Training & Research: We are currently developing world class training programs to assist with Internet challenges both in Canada and in developing nations, as well as funding research.

By working together, we can prevent further victimization and work towards our ultimate goal to eliminate the online sexual exploitation of children and youth.
