Algiers, Algeria | February 9th, 2025 —  The Algerian Ministry of Post and Telecommunications has launched a national awareness campaign dedicated to protecting children from the dangers of improper internet use. Under the theme “The Internet is a Vast Ocean – Let’s Help Our Children Navigate Safely,” the campaign runs from February 8 to 14, 2025, and brings together a broad coalition of government bodies and institutions to ensure a comprehensive and effective approach to online safety.

This high-stakes initiative is being carried out in coordination with the Ministry of National Defense, Ministry of Interior and Local Assemblies, Ministry of Religious Affairs, Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Ministry of National Education, Ministry of Vocational Training, Ministry of Culture and Arts, Ministry of Youth and Sports, Ministry of National Solidarity and Family Affairs, Ministry of Communication, and Ministry of Health. Additionally, key organizations, such as the National Cybersecurity Agency, the National Gendarmerie, the General Directorate of National Security, the National Observatory of Civil Society, the High Commission for Digitalization, the Supreme Council for Youth, and the National Authority for the Protection of Personal Data, along with the National Authority for the Protection and Promotion of Childhood, are actively contributing to the campaign’s success.

A Coordinated Effort to Strengthen Digital Awareness

The campaign aims to educate children, parents, and educators on best practices for safe internet browsing and equip them with the necessary skills to identify and mitigate the risks lurking in cyberspace. With the growing prevalence of digital threats, including cyberbullying, online predators, data breaches, and exposure to harmful content, the initiative seeks to instill a culture of cybersecurity from an early age.

Beyond raising awareness, the campaign also emphasizes the dangers of excessive gaming, social media misuse, and online addiction—issues that have become increasingly prevalent in today’s hyperconnected world. By fostering digital literacy and responsible internet use, the initiative aspires to empower Algerian youth with the tools needed to navigate the digital world securely and responsibly.

With a multi-sectoral and proactive approach, Algeria reaffirms its commitment to protecting children from online dangers, promoting responsible digital citizenship, and ensuring that the internet remains a space of opportunity rather than a threat.
