The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) Bahrain is working to raise awareness among young people, their parents, and teachers on potential online dangers, including cyberbullying, and ways they can minimise risk.

The TRA’s Online Safety Initiative builds on the successful Cyber Safety program conducted in November 2022 to further encourage responsible ICT usage.

The TRA, in collaboration with the International Telecommunication Union’s (ITU) Global Program on Child Online Protection, has worked closely to highlight the importance of this key issue.

The Child Online Protection training sessions, aimed at enlightening educators and youth organizations on how to safeguard children and educate them about their online rights, were held with the participation of over 300 educators.
