The initiative will assist the government in building regional laws and regulatory frameworks for the general public on child safety online in addition to encouraging safe internet usage.
Telenor Pakistan and UNICEF will train 750,000 kids, guardians, and instructors over the period of the next three years through a hybrid training program.
In order to create a proper legal and policy framework with an evidence-based, consultative, and coordinated approach toward children’s and young people’s protection in the digital world, they also want to work with important stakeholders.
At the partnership signing ceremony, Kamal Ahmed, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer, Telenor Pakistan, said, “Increased access to digital platforms brings progress to the society but raises safety concerns for children. Digital skills and online safety is a collective responsibility.”
“Through this partnership with UNICEF, Telenor Pakistan will continue promoting digital inclusion, online safety, and new skillset to help young people navigate a connected world. Our ambition is to build the capacity and enable children, educators, and caregivers to adopt measures for online protection,” he added.
