Combating Cybercrimes: Our Advocacy for Women and Children's Safety
At the recent "Beijing 30+ Women Justice and Security in a Changing World" event at UNODC, our organization took a strong stand on the escalating threat of cybercrimes against women and children. We highlighted how the digital realm, while offering connection, also presents serious risks, from online harassment and exploitation to human trafficking facilitated through technology.
Our advocacy focused on the urgent need for robust legal protections and comprehensive policies to safeguard these vulnerable groups. We stressed that no single nation can tackle this global challenge alone; international cooperation is paramount to ensure swift prosecution, victim support, and a truly secure online environment for all. We remain committed to championing these vital efforts.
