Essential Tips for Children, Parents and Caregivers on Staying Safe on the Internet
Over the recent years, internet access in the occupied Palestinian territory has increased exponentially and as a result, Palestinian children are now spending more time online than ever before. The COVID-19 pandemic, with school closures and the development of online learning approaches, has accelerated this trend.
While the internet creates huge opportunities for children in terms of education and entertainment, it also generates serious risks. Cyberbullying and other forms of peer-to-peer violence are a constant risk on social media or instant messaging platforms. Many websites and social media platforms do not do everything they should to protect children from being exposed to sensitive material, pornography, hate speech and violent content. Some companies have also adapted their marketing to target children, leading to excessive time online that negatively impacts their family and social lives.
But simple measures can keep children safe online. For Safer Internet Day, several children are sharing their tips and advises for children and for their parents on how to stay safe on the internet. Watch the below videos and check our Facebook page for more information.

It confirms that States must protect the right of every child to a clean, safe and healthy environment as a matter of their legal obligations under the Convention of the Rights of the Child. More than 16,300 children from 121 countries gave their input. One of them was Yael Feliz, a World Vision Youth Advocate from the Dominican Republic.

Stronger than HaiyanThese children are in this Child Friendly Space only because of their mothers were stubbornly determined to protect their lives. Mothers who refused to be defeated by a disaster; mothers whose strength is stronger than Haiyan.
