Abstract
This paper discusses the significant risks children face in the digital world, including cyberbullying, online exploitation, harmful content, and data privacy breaches. With increasing engagement in social media, gaming platforms, and other digital spaces, children are exposed to new dangers, often worsened by limited digital literacy among both themselves and their caregivers. The conference will examine these threats, focusing on the roles of emerging technologies and socio-economic factors that contribute to an unsafe online environment. By fostering collaboration among governments, tech companies, educators, and civil society, this paper aims to present innovative solutions to protect children online. Through partnerships and increased digital education, the goal is to create a safer, more secure digital landscape for young users.
