Part of this objective is keeping them safe from harmful content and people, and one of the pillars of our Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability strategy, Generation Youth, contains initiatives that are dedicated to child online safety.” Jennifer Suleiman, Zain Group’s Chief Sustainability Officer commented, “Zain aims to empower millions of young people across our footprint, enabling them to reach their maximum potential. We are fully committed to address the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 16.2 calling on ending all forms of violence against children by 2030.” We are dedicated to playing our key role in addressing this especially that our region has one of the highest share of youth in the world, coupled with a rising broadband connectivity rate. The main objective of Zain’s latest child online safety campaign is to reiterate the importance of this issue, and advocate for parents and caregivers to stay vigilant and aware of the risks, emphasizing that people are not always who they might present themselves to be online.īader Al Kharafi, Zain Vice-Chairman and Group CEO, commented, “Child Online Safety is of great importance for Zain given the millions of children that are online every day using digital devices across our footprint. The COVID-19 pandemic has also resulted in many more children coming online as physical school classes have been restricted and more children are learning online, increasing the threat landscape for exposure to detrimental content and threat actors. Over 30% of all internet users are estimated to be children and given the expansion of broadband access, this number is only set to rise over time. The digitization of the classic stories, reflected against a backdrop of different digital mediums, is meant to help children visualize and relate to the threats faced online, and understand that there are ways to counter them.
