Children are the leaders of today, making it essential to cultivate their leadership skills, particularly in critical thinking and problem-solving, as we navigate the rapidly evolving digital landscape.
To celebrate Childrenโs Day with a focus on quality education and skills development, we launched a campaign at Government Girls College Makurdi Benue State aimed at promoting digital๐ป๐ฅ๏ธโจ๏ธ safety, especially for young girls.
This initiative is part of our "Stay Informed, Stay Safe Online" project. Our digital safety awareness campaign seeks to amplify voices against tech-facilitated gender-based violence, which includes issues like cyberbullying and harassment from misogynistic groups that often silence women and girls online.
The sensitization exercise specifically targets high school learners, empowering young girls with digital safety tools so they can engage online confidently and without discrimination.
Looking ahead, we are excited to strengthen our campaign by establishing digital clubs in schools. These clubs will further develop both learners and educators in essential digital safety tools, helping them navigate the online ecosystem effectively.

Happy International Girls in ICT Day!
Today, on April 24, we join the global community in celebrating the incredible contributions of young women in the field of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). This yearโs theme, โGirls in ICT for Inclusive Digital Transformation,โ highlights the crucial role young women play in shaping a more inclusive and equitable digital landscape.
At the Initiative for Human Rights and Gender Awareness, our Digital Safety Ambassadors are at the forefront of this movement. These remarkable young women are redefining the digital space by leveraging technology to address pressing issues, including tech-facilitated gender-based violence.
Through their advocacy and leadership, they are not only raising awareness but also actively engaging communities and policymakers in discussions about digital safety and gender equality. Their work exemplifies the power of technology as a tool for empowerment and change.
Letโs celebrate these trailblazers who are taking the lead in ensuring that the digital world is safe and accessible for everyone. Together, we can continue to support and inspire future generations of girls in ICT!
