Awareness Raising

In Nepal, many children and young people are vulnerable to cyber crime as they do not know how to protect themselves online. Moreover, many parents and teachers themselves do not know about safe use of the digital technology. As a result, they cannot provide guidance to their children on online protection. Therefore, ChildSafeNet has been raising awareness of children, young people, parents, teachers and duty bearers on protecting children and young people online.

We use innovative and creative approaches for protection of children and young people in the digital age. In order to reach focused beneficiary groups, we produce and disseminate awareness and advocacy videos, motion graphics, radio programmes, animations and publications, which are tailor-made to cater to their specific needs and tastes.

Since the majority of people in Nepal use internet on mobile devices, we extensively use digital media to reach children, young people and their parents. We also work directly with children and young people in schools, colleges and communities. We are developing child and youth focused programmes in consultation and collaboration with them. Likewise, we are working with parents, teachers and other duty-bearers to make the technology safer.
