ONLINE SAFETY AND
DIGITAL WELLBEING

The internet helps us connect with our friends, family, global citizens, and most importantly provides economic and social empowerment to all.

We have seen drastic increase in the usage of internet and daily online engagement. School and college-going students are actively using online platforms to access educational resources, enhance their knowledge and find opportunities. Consumption of information, resources, products and services have changed over the period of time then the way it used to be.

Since we all are a part in the Digital transformation, we have the responsibility to build safer and secure digital spaces for ourselves and for the future generations. Through our Online Safety and Security projects, the Centre for Social Research aim towards increasing awareness on the safety aspects, access to Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), fulfill the basic human rights, and make an effort to achieve the SDGs. We have also curated an Online Safety and Security Toolkit to educate and empower the internet users about the threats lurking online, and the availability of various tools that can be used to not fall prey to online abusers, trolls or scammers and safeguard from cyber bullying
and online harassment.

Centre for Social Research have been working on Online Safety & Security through various projects since almost a decade, to achieve the following SDGs:

SDG 3 "Good Health and Well-being"

SDG 4 "Quality Education"

SDG 5 "Gender Equality"

SDG 9 "Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure"

SDG 10 "Reduced Inequalities"

"It was my good fortune to collaborate with CRS India in a research project in 2022 on children’s digital citizenship. I conducted this project on behalf of the Centre of Excellence for the Digital Child, Edith Cowan University (Perth, Western Australia), supported by the LEGO Foundation. CSR India brought their deep expertise of the research topic, digital citizenship, to the project which involved play-based children’s research roundtables. They provided an outstanding team of research-support staff who effectively handled the logistics of running these roundtables. CSR India’s experience and expertise ensured the success of the project and, most importantly, meant the children in the project had a really wonderful learning experience."

“Digital literacy is the need of the hour. Incessant flow of information and globalization have blurred the lines of how one should absorb content. Centre for Social Research with Twitter India is tackling the menace through conducting workshops across the country. CSR India is a cohort of intellectually stimulating people. It gives youth a platform to voice their opinions. It has been an enriching and insightful journey as a Student Ambassador. To understand the importance of sensitization and awareness generation on various pressing issues of society among youth and to be a part of this community is itself a wonderful experience.”

“Getting more women online is a reliable way of propelling economic and societal growth. We need to encourage women to come online and take their rightful place in the digital world. While we cannot quickly unwind the sexism that drives abuse and harassment against women, we (youth) can redesign and change the digital spaces that allow misogyny to thrive. We should always remember that a better digital world starts with us, so be kind to people when you are online. In the future, I hope to see a world where women will lead a life free from fear from the internet.”

Ipsita Chatterjee

"India has the cheapest internet available for the users but today's youth still struggle in Digital literacy. For women, it is important, not only for survival, but to help with the bigger causes like their equal representation, to be heard, gaining emotional and financial stability etc. is the need of the hour to improve their existing conditions. Freedom to utilise online spaces by youth, especially women, not only challenges the misogynistic and patriarchal tendencies of the society but also improves the society from the inside out."

“The Digital Safety & Online Well-Being workshop by the Centre for Social Research was very informative and I learnt many things that I’ll surely keep in mind when I am online. I’ll also try to follow the netiquettes that Shruti Ma’am taught us. I would love to have such sessions once every two or four months.”

“The children are very engaging and enthusiastic. In some of the workshops they sat and took down notes, and asked questions from it. Mostly, they have been responsive in all spheres, i.e., asking questions and sharing their experiences.”
