Abstract

Violence on social media nowadays is a huge and bad challenge for children. From
social media to online games, children are exposed to various forms of cyberbullying. This
includes threats, hate speech, online harassment, extortion and even cyber-sexual assault.
While the Internet offers countless opportunities to learn and connect with people around the
world, it is also a platform for potentially dangerous and harmful activities.
Legislation plays a key role in protecting children from digital abuse. Legislation needs
to be updated accordingly to respond to changing technologies and threats. At the same time,
it is necessary to ensure effective cooperation between the government, educational
institutions, families and online platforms to prevent and fight against digital violence.
Educating children about safe and responsible use of the Internet is essential, providing information on recognizing potential risks and techniques for protecting their personal
information.
It is essential that children's rights are protected in the digital space as well as in the
real world. The court must provide effective law enforcement mechanisms to punish those
who commit digital violence against children, while providing support and protection for
victims. Active collaboration between all stakeholders is essential to create a safe and
sustainable digital space for all children.
