Digital Defence Objectives
Advocacy
Influence policies and practices at local, national, and international levels to prioritise and enforce online safety measures by:

• Partnering with media outlets and influencers to raise awareness and advocate for responsible online behaviour.
• Mobilising communities and stakeholders to support legislative initiatives and campaigns
Education
Increase awareness and understanding of online safety principles and best practices among individuals of all ages by:
• Developing comprehensive educational resources and curriculum modules on online safety.
• Conducting workshops, seminars, and training sessions in schools, communities, and workplaces.
• Collaborate with organisations, educators, parents, and guardians to integrate online safety education into formal and informal learning environments.
Support
Provide practical support and resources to individuals affected by online threats and harassment by:
