CybHER programs so far

Live sessions were conducted by various cyber experts including police officers from the department, who substantially laid out relevant and significant information on all sub-themes that were to be addressed in the sessions such as right and wrong online, gender based bullying, preventing cyber sexual abuse of women and children, tackling sexual harassment against women, safety measures while purchasing online and why online privacy matters?
The campaign consisted of competitions such as poster and poem writing, and quizzes, on overcoming cyberbullying and trolling, threat of cyber harassment, sexual extortion and addiction to social media.

The Women Safety Wing conducted a Cyber Volunteer Training Programme in the first week of March 2021 on the topic of ‘Cyber Safety and Security’.
The sessions engaged 3.75 lakh, adolescent children, from various schools of urban and rural parts of Telangana.
All the children were glued to the screens during a thought-provoking session on Cyber Safety which was delivered in a child-friendly manner.
During these sessions, the students asked multiple questions on cyber safety which prompted the need for a long-term project called Cyber Congress.

The Cyber Congress project is an initiative of Women Safety Wing, Telangana Police in partnership with the Education Department Government of Telangana, cybersecurity expert Rakshit Tandon and NGO partner Youngistaan Foundation.
Cyber Congress is a training program with selected students from each school with a teacher where the team is empowered to handle the online threats to children and also to promote the positive use of the Internet & Mobile.
The team then gets connected to experts online for regular updates and features which in turn is shared with the students by the local cyber ambassadors.
