With over 3 billion users worldwide, the internet has created an increasingly connected world. With accessibility, however, comes the opportunity for abuse. 20% of kids who are cyberbullied consider suicide, and 1 in 10 of them attempt to take their own lives. This has to stop. It’s time to take a stand.
UNICEF is helping to make a difference by partnering with those who come face to face with cyberbullies every day. In support of Safer Internet Day last February 6th, social influencers across the globe will share their stories to raise awareness and make a difference.
Influencers will share an inspiring Instagram post that calls to answer followers’ questions and that includes #endviolence, #saferinternetday and @unicef.
They may also share a more personal Instagram story, or one that includes an existing video with the following copy: “It’s so easy to spread hate, today we share kindness together. Leave 5 nice comments and make someone’s day #sharekindness #endviolence #saferinternetday”
We’re asking you to use your voice for the greater good and ask your network to join the movement. Help us ignite change and put an end to online abuse for good.
