About our SID activities

In honour of Safer Internet Day on February 6, 2024, we hold an inter-school public speaking and debate competition for 13- to 18-year-old children. The event will run from 9 am to 1 pm at Morgan High School. The day's main purpose is to raise awareness of a safer internet day for all, especially children and young people. Help us by joining the movement and ensuring that the internet is a place with opportunities for children and young people where they can create, engage, and share positively and freely.

What we are doing to create a better internet...

We are raising awareness in schools by cooperating with young people to solve today's challenges. We believe in children's rights. Hence, children are participating in their own activities. They should highlight how they will contribute to a safer internet society.

About us

Safety n Us is a proactive organisation which seeks to address the root cause of forms of violence against children in the context of the 21st-century connected society. In the digital society, children have surpassed their adults in technology usage and are thrown into the deep end of technology, exposing them to new forms of vulnerability. Direct violence takes the forms of cyber bullying, exposure to illicit content and even scams. Technology also exposes them to paedophiles and traffickers, which leads to child sexual abuse, trafficking and sometimes drug abuse. Given the digital divide between the younger and older generations, it is imperative to address child violence with new and innovative ways that can match the complex dangers against children in a digital society.
