FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 27, 2024
Executive Director’s Message on Children’s Day 2024: Protecting the Nigerian Child from the Dangers of Online Technology
As we celebrate Children’s Day 2024, Trailblazer Initiative Nigeria is emphasizing the theme of “Protecting the Nigerian Child from the Dangers of Online Technology.” The digital age offers numerous benefits, but it also exposes children to significant risks such as cyberbullying, inappropriate content, online predators, and privacy violations.
Our Commitment to Online Safety:
- Parental Involvement and Education: We encourage parents to engage in their children’s online activities and educate them about safe internet practices. Open and honest communication is essential for understanding and mitigating the risks children face online.
- Implementing Technology Solutions: Parents should utilize parental controls and promote the use of child-friendly platforms. These tools are crucial for restricting access to harmful content and monitoring online behavior.
- Community Collaboration: Schools and communities must work together to protect children online. By integrating internet safety into educational curricula and organizing workshops, we can collectively raise awareness and equip children with the necessary skills to navigate the digital world safely.
Call to Action: We urge parents, educators, policymakers, and the community to join us in this mission. Together, we can create a safer digital environment for Nigerian children, ensuring they can explore and learn online without fear.
On this Children’s Day, let us reaffirm our commitment to safeguarding the innocence and well-being of our children in the digital era.
