Cyberbullying is becoming a growing concern in Malaysia, with tragic cases like the recent death of a social media influencer highlighting the devastating impact it can have. While it's clear that the behaviour of the cyber bully was unacceptable, we must also consider the #broader society factors that contribute to this problem. The lack of specific #laws addressing cyberbullying in Malaysia has made it challenging for authorities to effectively tackle the issue. By learning from the approaches taken by other countries, Malaysia has an opportunity to create a robust legal framework although I understand that the government is trying to draft a dedicated law currently. At the same time, we must acknowledge that the issue extends beyond just the law. As a society, we need to foster greater resilience and emotional intelligence, particularly among our younger generations, to help them navigate the complexities of the digital world. To effectively address this problem, we must provide support to those affected. Here are some key steps: 1. Awareness and Education: Educate the public, particularly the youth, about the dangers of cyberbullying and its long-term effects on mental health. Encourage parents and educators to discuss online safety and cyberbullying with children and students. 2. Counselling Services: Take advantage of counselling services to victims, such as those provided by UNICEF Malaysia and Be-Frienders. 3. Prevention: Implement measures to prevent cyberbullying, such as monitoring social media platforms and reporting suspicious activity. Promote responsible online behavior through public awareness campaigns and educational programs. By taking these steps, we can create a safer and more supportive environment for victims of cyberbullying in Malaysia.

🔷 We are proud to announce our new #synergy with CESAGRAM Project EU, an EU-funded ISF project, which aims to enhance the understanding of the grooming process, how it is facilitated by technology and how it can lead to missing children. 🔷 The project will be delivered through a partnership consisting of 11 expert organisations and is funded by the European Commission. CESAGRAM will conduct a mapping of the existing research and legislation and policy frameworks on tech-facilitated grooming in the four target countries and on the EU level. The overall objective is to develop training for better exchange of knowledge, experience and good practice for professionals and develop tools for young people to recognise grooming and better protect themselves. CESAGRAM will produce a set of AI-based tools which aim to facilitate the detection and prevention of grooming content online. They will draw on realistic use case scenarios which consider the operational needs of law enforcement agencies. Throughout the course of the project, a deposit of knowledge will be built and accumulated from a range of experts, related projects, and stakeholders. This knowledge will be localised in a Knowledge Hub to inform on the CESAGRAM Project and its outputs but also showcase and highlight other existing work on grooming and missing. CESAGRAM will produce actionable advocacy materials to inform discussions with EU stakeholders and national Governments about further action to prevent grooming and missing. 🔍Learn more about CSAGRAM project: 🔗 Web Page: https://lnkd.in/d5KGjydr 🌐 🔗 LinkedIn: https://lnkd.in/dfTAHvUC 💼 🔗 Twitter: https://lnkd.in/dgaKtXss 🐦 🔗 Facebook: https://lnkd.in/dP_BbANe 📘 Together, let's make the world a safer place for children. 💙 💚 💜 European Commission #HEROESFCT #H2020 #disseminationsynergy #CESAGRAMprojectEU #ISF #SecurityUnion #HEROES4ALL #childprotection

The Universal Classification Schema tackles child sexual abuse and exploitation material through international collaboration. The next milestone in this initiative is the creation of a comprehensive dataset. The culmination of our training and annotation efforts to date will result in a dataset that comprises any possible combination of Schema labels. This dataset will serve as a foundational resource for hotlines, enabling them to categorise images based on their respective national legislation. It will also allow us to establish a mapping of how country-specific laws align with the Universal Classification Schema within the INHOPE network. INHOPE will be building on top of the foundational open source technology made available by the SCARt toolkit (https://bit.ly/4b54Jcd), with the integration expertise of S3group BV.

FINALLY!! 👏 SHE supports the intent behind the proposed legislation and establishment of the new online safety agency. Since our founding, SHE has been advocating for more measures to tackle online harms, including the setting up of just such an agency. The Straits Times cited our 2023 Study on Online Harms in Singapore, and interviewed our board member Kwek Poh Heok and our SHECARES Centre Head Lorraine Lim.

🌐 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗕𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗮𝘆 - 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟵, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 🌟 On National Stop Bullying Day, we shine a spotlight on a critical issue that affects millions—Cyberbullying. As #𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 becomes an integral part of our lives, cyberbullying (also known as cyberharassment) has grown, especially among teens and adolescents. According to the i-Safe Foundation, over 50% of teenagers have been victims of #𝗼𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗯𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴, with many also engaging in it. This isn't just a teen issue; adults face #𝗰𝘆𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 too. It's a global concern, with far-reaching psychological, emotional, and sometimes legal consequences. The #𝗖𝗢𝗩𝗜𝗗-𝟭𝟵 pandemic saw a sharp rise in cyberbullying as people spent more time online. While some countries like the US have passed laws to address this issue, cyberbullying is still rampant globally, with trolls and #𝗰𝘆𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀 using anonymity to harm others. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁: • Cyberbullying can have long-lasting effects on victims, leading to anxiety, depression, and even suicidal thoughts. • It isn’t just about mean comments—cyberbullying extends to 𝗱𝗼𝘅𝘅𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝘀𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, making it a more complex and dangerous problem. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗪𝗲 𝗗𝗼? • 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 & 𝗘𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Schools, parents, and guardians must be proactive in monitoring online activities and promoting healthy communication. • 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 & 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁: Victims need easy access to reporting mechanisms on social media platforms and professional help. • 𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Stricter laws and enforcement are crucial in holding cyberbullies accountable. On #𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗕𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗗𝗮𝘆, let’s work together to create safe, supportive online spaces where everyone can connect without fear of harassment. Together, we can make a difference! #𝗖𝘆𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗯𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 #𝗢𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 #𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 #𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 #𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗕𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 #𝗖𝘆𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 #𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱

💡 Online safety is a complex issue. If you're a new social media platform, where do you start? These guidelines from the French Standards Agency AFNOR - Commission Management Innovation (CN INNOV) ) have been created to help platform providers verify who is using their service, put detection, moderation and reporting measures in place, and build awareness and trust. 📌The result of a collaboration between international social media, online safety & child protection experts, the guidelines focus on French and European regulations & legislation but can be adapted in line with regulatory obligations and local laws in other countries so that even more young people around the world can get the most out of safe digital spaces.

Breaking Norms, Building Dreams," will be live today at 12:00 pm PST / 3 pm EST/ 2 pm CDT on 107.7 and 105.3 FM in New Orleans, part of the United Public Radio Network. I'm thrilled to introduce our special guest today, Tiana from the Exploitation Education Institute @exploitationeducation. With her background in counselling and psychology, Tiana has dedicated herself to combating sexual exploitation and human trafficking, making a significant impact in the field for over a decade. But beyond her professional achievements, I'm personally excited about today's discussion because, as a parent of two little ones myself, I understand the importance of initiatives like The Prevention Project. Projects like these aren't just about raising awareness; they're about taking proactive steps to protect our children and youth in an ever-evolving digital world. In partnership with Ally Global Foundation, this initiative offers a comprehensive platform to equip children and youth (grades 3-12) with essential skills for navigating both online interactions and real-life relationships safely. As a parent, I'm thrilled to see such initiatives come to life because they provide invaluable resources that empower our children to stay safe in an increasingly complex world. So, as we dive into today's discussion with Tiana (bring your questions LIVE), let's not only explore the incredible work she's doing with the Exploitation Education Institute but also celebrate the launch of The Prevention Project and the positive impact it's bound to have on our children and youth.
