Safe Internet in Cambodia

• SIC is a proposal of the Don Bosco social communication section of Sihanoukville to create a safe and formative space on the Internet in Cambodia, especially for children, teenagers and young people. We appreciate the development of Information Technology like the Internet, but we think that children, teenagers and young people must know how to use it for their formation and to be protected from real dangers on the Internet like pornography, sexual abuse, online crime, Internet addiction and many other possibilities.
• We invite other organisations (officials or NGOs) to join this campaign to build a safe online network in Cambodia.
• We propose the creation of a logo to identified our campaign on the Internet in Cambodia. Soon we are going to publish the conditions to the creation of such logo through videos, social networks and others.
