Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
The Ministry of Social Development and Family in Qatar launched “Digitally Aware Family”, a national campaign designed to protect young people online and promote safer technology use within homes.
Twenty national entities joined the effort, working under the slogan “Their Protection, Your Responsibility”. The campaign emphasizes that digital safety requires more than simply restricting access. It calls for awareness, open conversations, and balanced habits to help children navigate the internet responsibly and seek help when needed.
Qatar’s officials recognize that children’s online experiences affect their behavior, values, and wellbeing, making family involvement essential. The campaign moves beyond technical concerns to address digital safety as a family and societal priority, impacting child-rearing, mental health, and home stability. The initiative unfolds in three phases, “Risk Awareness”, “Practical Protection”, and “Responsibility & Reporting”, to guide families from understanding dangers to taking action and reporting problems.
The campaign also extends its reach beyond individual homes, involving specialists, content creators, and organizations that support family wellbeing. To support these efforts, the ministry created www.esafety.qa, a website offering digital resources and educational materials. This campaign aligns with Qatar’s National Strategy for 2025 to 2030, “From Care to Empowerment”, and the Qatar National Vision 2030, both of which prioritize family stability and adapting to technological changes.
The Ministry of Social Development and Family encourages families and community partners to participate and integrate digital safety into daily routines.
