In a remarkable move to promote responsible digital parenting, renowned actress and social activist Neha Dhupia has teamed up with Assam Police and the PIIR Foundation to bolster the globally recognized #DontBeASharent campaign. The initiative aims to protect children’s rights on the internet by highlighting the dangers of oversharing personal information on social media platforms.
#DontBeASharent, originally launched by Assam Police, has evolved into a worldwide movement, urging parents and caregivers to adopt mindful digital behaviors. Neha Dhupia, a prominent advocate for parenting and online safety, joins this important mission to drive home the message of cautious digital engagement. Reflecting on her involvement, Dhupia remarked, “As a mother, I understand the joy of sharing our children’s milestones online. But we must ask ourselves — how much is too much? ‘#DontBeASharent’ is a powerful reminder to protect our children not just physically, but digitally too.”
The campaign is poised for expansion through various mediums such as awareness videos, public service announcements, and educational workshops in schools and community spaces, with plans to reach a global audience. Leading the charge, Assam Police and the PIIR Foundation are set to foster informed discussions on children’s digital rights and responsible parenting in the digital age.
The significance of this initiative cannot be understated, as it aims to safeguard the digital footprint of young individuals, creating an informed generation of internet users. With the backing of Neha Dhupia, the campaign promises to make a notable impact, setting the stage for more considerate and protected online practices worldwide.
