UNICEF India collaborates with Facebook to create safe online environment for children

Facebook and UNICEF India have announced their partnership to launch a one-year joint initiative with the objective of ending violence against children with a special focus on online safety.
Under this partnership Facebook and UNICEF India will work to create a safe environment for children online as well as offline.
The new initiative will include a nationwide social media campaign and capacity building for 1,00,000 schoolchildren on online safety, digital literacy and psychosocial support.
This campaign will help to improve children’s resilience and capacity to access the digital world safely, increase awareness on violence against children and its impact on children, families and communities, as well as enhance skills of communities and frontline workers to better prevent and respond to violence.
