UNICEF: a safer digital world for kids

More needs to be done to protect children from cyberbullying and abuse

UNITED NATIONS - Despite children's massive online presence, too little is being done to protect them from the perils of the digital world and to increase their access to safe online content, the United Nations Children's Fund says in its annual flagship report, which was released earlier this month.

Pointing out that one in three internet users worldwide is a child, the agency in its State of the World's Children 2017: Children in a Digital World report, highlights the digital divide and explores the current debates surrounding the impact of the internet and social media on children's safety and well-being.
