SWGfL 25 Years: Impact, People and Evolution

This year marks a significant milestone, 25 years of SWGfL. Over the past quarter-century, we’ve grown from a small initiative into a global force, supporting millions around the world with vital online safety guidance and services. At the heart of our mission are the people, our dedicated team, our partners, and the individuals and communities who have shaped our journey from the start. 

From our beginnings in 2000, we’ve consistently evolved to meet emerging challenges. We’ve taken a stand against critical online issues such as non-consensual intimate image abuse and the safety and security of educational settings.

As we reflect on our journey, we also look forward, committed to continuing our work, responding to new threats, and ensuring that those in need have a voice and the support they deserve. Thank you for being part of the SWGfL story.
