The ABCs of SBC
SBC in Online Child Protection
The internet is where kids learn, play, and connect, but it’s also where they can be bullied, exploited, surveilled, and manipulated. As digital threats evolve faster than the systems designed to protect children, how do we keep them safe in a world that’s always online?
From outdated legal frameworks to overwhelmed parents and disconnected protection services, this episode highlights not just the risks children face online, but the opportunities to involve them and their caregivers as co-designers of safer digital spaces, and how SBC offers a way forward.
You'll hear from:
- Afrooz Kaviani Johnson, Child Protection Specialist at UNICEF Headquarters
- Mahwish Saeed Syed, SBC Officer at UNICEF Pakistan
- Saji Thomas, Chief of Child Protection at UNICEF Gulf Area Office
