Two new laws are planned for 2027 to protect children

The Ministry of Justice, Administration, and Digital Transformation has outlined legislative plans for 2027 that include two new laws aimed at protecting children. One proposed law focuses on safeguarding minors in digital environments, aligning with European Union recommendations and guidelines regarding online safety and age verification mechanisms. The second proposal seeks to establish a national 'Children's House' based on the Barnahus model, which consolidates judicial, social, and medical services under one roof to support child victims of violence while preventing re-victimization during legal proceedings. These initiatives are part of a broader package of approximately fifteen bills scheduled for introduction next year, reflecting a coordinated approach to enhancing child welfare both online and offline.
