Child rights organisation Terre des Hommes Netherlands is launching the "Also Online" campaign to make parents and caregivers aware of how to protect their children better online.
This comes on the backdrop of the 2023 SCROL baseline study in Kenya which shows that 60% of parents and caregivers have low levels of knowledge and attitudes related to online child sexual exploitation.
Additionally, around 38.8% of children reported that their parents do not understand the internet and social media applications' functionalities.
A statement to newsrooms indicates that this knowledge gap impedes parents and caregivers from providing effective assistance in shielding their children from online sexual exploitation and related risks.
