Talking about a safer internet world Ayushmann Khurrana said, “In today’s world, people of all ages, right from children aged 5-6 years to elder people are using the internet for their ease and convenience. In such situations, it is very important to educate first time users of the internet – that is children about the perils of the internet as well as ways to stay safe online. This year for the occasion of Safer Internet Day I visited an NGO called PRATYeK with UNICEF where along with the children, even I learnt about some important safety rules of the internet.”
Further adding on, Ayushmann talking about his vision for a safer environment on the internet, he said, “On this Safer Internet Day, along with UNICEF, I want to raise awareness about online safety and responsible digital behavior. It is very important to equip young people with the tools to report when they feel discomfort or threatened, can empower them to protect themselves and others online and parents should also have open communication with their child to understand in case they are facing any troubles on the internet. Together, only by engaging safely on the internet, we can transform this platform into one that empowers everyone.”
Ayushmann’s visit on Safer Internet Day aligns with his commitment to children’s rights and well-being continues to inspire meaningful conversations and action towards a safer and more inclusive digital world.
