Breaking The Silence
About Us
Digital technologies have transformed how children and young people learn, communicate, and participate in society. While the internet creates new opportunities for education, creativity, and civic engagement, it also exposes children and youth to risks such as cyberbullying, online harassment, misinformation, hate speech, privacy violations, and online sexual exploitation and abuse (OSEA).
In Bangladesh, increasing internet access has expanded opportunities for young people but has also heightened their exposure to online violence and discrimination. Girls, young women, children with disabilities, and other marginalized groups are particularly vulnerable. Many children and young people also lack the knowledge, skills, and support needed to stay safe online and confidently express their views.
The Speak Up! project was developed to address these challenges by creating a safer, more inclusive digital environment where children and youth can exercise their rights and participate meaningfully in public life.
