In Nigeria, the issue of underage online betting remains a significant concern, with reports indicating its growing prevalence among youth. Over the weekend, I participated in an event where young people passionately addressed this issue. They highlighted the critical role parents play in preventing underage participation in online betting. Additionally, they underscored the importance of collaborative efforts between betting companies, parents, and government authorities to establish and enforce policies that effectively deter underage gambling." It is important that children and young people's voices are heard when it comes to online issues that affect their well being Thank you Teens Can Code for organizing this debate competition. Big gratitude to Africa Online Safety Platform, Gamble Alert, Impact Amplifier for your partnership. #OnlineSafety #VirtuallySafe #AfricaOnlineSafetyPlatform #StopUnderageOnlineGambling

Online violence is a significant concern, as women and girls are disproportionately affected by online harassment, cyberstalking, and other forms of digital gender-based violence. This can include: online harassment and bullying, image-based sexual abuse, exploitation and trafficking. It is our duty as Safety N Us in partnership with Impact Amplifier, through our Safeformation project to raise awareness and promote education and training to empower women and girls to speak out and seek help. Remember, online violence is never acceptable, and we must work together to create a safer and more inclusive online environment for all. #Safeformation Lucia Mutsvedu Beaulah Ratisai Daisy Shambare Tsitsi D.
