BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 10.

According to him, the dangers children face today aren't limited to the streets and domestic environments.
"Psychological pressure, harmful content, blackmail, online exploitation, and other dangerous situations are observed over the mass media and social networks. In this regard, comprehensive measures are implemented together with parents and educational institutions to raise awareness and increase awareness in accordance with the challenges created by modern technologies. The protection of children's rights is not ensured by the activities of only one institution.
This requires coordinated cooperation between government agencies, educational institutions, families, and civil society organizations. Various events are organized within the framework of joint activities with relevant state institutions of Azerbaijan. Meetings are held in secondary schools with the participation of commissions, social workers, representatives of law enforcement agencies, and youth organizations operating under local executive authorities, and public awareness events are organized. At the same time, appropriate monitoring is carried out to prevent violations of children's rights and ensure a safe environment in educational institutions," he noted.
