BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 23.​ No child should
be left without protection in the era of digital transformation,
said Bahar Muradova, Chairperson of the State Committee for Family,
Women, and Children Affairs, Trend reports.


Speaking at the international conference titled "Protecting
children in the digital environment: Modern tools and international
cooperation,” held in Baku under the organization of the committee,
Muradova stressed that an uncontrolled and irresponsible digital
environment poses serious risks to children.


“The protection of children in the digital environment has
become one of the key issues on the global agenda, and
strengthening cooperation in this field is essential. Within the
framework of the law on protecting children from harmful
information adopted in Azerbaijan in 2018, effective coordination
among state bodies has been established,” she said.


Muradova articulated that analogous legislative initiatives in
various jurisdictions illustrate the presence of shared legal
paradigms and avenues for synergistic collaboration in this
domain.



Highlighting her global expertise, she stressed that enhancing
parental digital safety consciousness and fostering a secure
familial ecosystem significantly contribute to safeguarding
children in the online sphere.







“According to research, 72% of children use the internet daily,
which significantly increases the risk of exposure to harmful
information. That is why international cooperation to protect
children in the digital environment must be strengthened. In the
era of digital transformation, no child should be left
unprotected,” Muradova added.


An international conference titled "Protecting Children in the
Digital Environment: Modern Tools and International Cooperation"
has commenced in Baku, organized by the State Committee for Family,
Women, and Children's Affairs. The event gathers officials from
partner countries to tackle challenges in safeguarding children's
rights in the digital realm, with a focus on artificial
intelligence. Key topics include sharing experiences in protecting
children from harmful content and enhancing global cooperation.
Speakers include officials from Iran, Türkiye, Morocco, Qatar, and
Northern Cyprus, as well as senior representatives from
international organizations like the UN and ICESCO.
