More than 175,000 new Internet users are children

More than 175,000 new internet users daily are children – one new child every half a second, according to UNICEF.

“Although an easy digital approach means that children enter the world of great advantages and possibilities, children also face many risks, such as access to harmful content, sexual exploitation and abuse, cyber violence, and the private data abuse”, UNICEF warns.

UNICEF representative in Montenegro Osama Khogali says that in Montenegro, 38% of children had at least one unpleasant experience on the internet in 2017, while 27% of them don’t know what to do when someone harasses them on the internet.

The Ministry of Education and its partners marked the Safer Internet Day.
