Digital safety is crucial as online sexual harassment and cyberbullying are on the rise, especially affecting adolescents. These forms of abuse can take many shapes, including unwanted messages, images, or threats. To protect themselves in digital spaces, young people should be cautious about sharing personal information, use privacy settings, and report inappropriate behavior. It's important to understand digital consent, which means respecting others' boundaries online, just like in person. Adolescents should be provided with resources like educational guides and trusted platforms to learn about consent and ways to stay safe online.
In this episode of Gulabi Sambad, we have highlighted the same with Adcovate Baburam Aryal, an expert on information technology law. Aryal has discussed how adolescents can protect themselves in digital spaces and ways of providing resources and guidance on digital consent.
