BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 10. Virtual space has
become a serious risk environment, Azerbaijan's Deputy Minister of
Internal Affairs, Ismat Aliyev, said at the presentation ceremony
of the research report "Legal thoughts of adolescents in
Azerbaijan" and the "Children and Law" book prepared by the State
Committee for Family, Women and Children's Issues, Trend's correspondent
reports from the event.
According to him, the dangers children face today aren't limited
to the streets and domestic environments.
"Psychological pressure, harmful content, blackmail, online
exploitation, and other dangerous situations are observed over the
mass media and social networks. In this regard, comprehensive
measures are implemented together with parents and educational
institutions to raise awareness and increase awareness in
accordance with the challenges created by modern technologies. The
protection of children's rights is not ensured by the activities of
only one institution.
This requires coordinated cooperation between government
agencies, educational institutions, families, and civil society
organizations. Various events are organized within the framework of
joint activities with relevant state institutions of Azerbaijan.
Meetings are held in secondary schools with the participation of
commissions, social workers, representatives of law enforcement
agencies, and youth organizations operating under local executive
authorities, and public awareness events are organized. At the same
time, appropriate monitoring is carried out to prevent violations
of children's rights and ensure a safe environment in educational
institutions," he noted.
