It wasn't just a launch, it was a lesson for life.
At Kololo, @UCC_Official reminded students - Be careful who you engage with online, and always talk to a trusted adult when at risk.
A great day it was!

Representing @MoICT_Ug, PS @azawedde said child protection must extend to digital spaces, just as it addresses risks such as child labour, trafficking & abuse.
She noted that the internet has become an important tool for education but also presents risks.

.@UCC_ED called on students to protect their information, think before posting & sharing & be careful about who they trust online.
Parents & teachers, he said, should equip children with the knowledge & confidence to navigate technology rather than simply discourage them from it

"Think before you post, protect personal information, be careful about who you engage with online, and speak to a trusted adult when something online makes you uncomfortable or puts you at risk."
Being connected matters; knowing how to stay safe matters more.

The findings show that while 98.4% of students know how to use the internet, 88.5% have encountered digital harms, including cyberbullying, misinformation and hate speech. 74.2% said they never tell anyone about such experiences, including their parents.
The campaign will take this conversation beyond the launch through sustained student awareness, parent education, regulatory enforcement and collaboration among institutions working to protect children online.

Most important to note: "Online safety requires children to know the risks, adults to know how to respond, and systems to make reporting and protection work."
