International Day of the African Child: let us protect our children online
Today, 16 June 2020, the international community is celebrating the 30th Day of the African Child #JEA. On this day, at a time when digital uses are growing at lightning speed, the protection of children online is of the utmost importance to me.
In Benin, the Digital Code does provide legal safeguards, but it is the measures taken by parents and the behaviour of children that ensure adequate protection.
To this end, I am sharing with you the "Guidelines for Children on Child Online Protection" drawn up by the International Telecommunication Union #ITU.
