Children are spending more time online for learning & connection but face risks like cyberbullying & privacy issues. Safety is about knowledge & support, not isolation. Parents and communities can help by teaching protection, encouraging openness & taking reports seriously.

Words/Terms like “mosagane” (uncircumcised) can cause shame & imply FGM/C is necessary for acceptance, violating the FGM Act, 2026. Parents can change the narrative by affirming their daughters' worth and rights to grow up free from FGM/C. Let her be respected. @amplifychange.org #Future4Binti
