TRA Cyber Safety
award
The Telecommunications
Regulatory Authority
(TRA) has launched the Cyber
Safety Award, which aims to
encourage community and
educational institutions in the
Kingdom of Bahrain to create
awareness in the field of cyber
safety.
In the results of the study
TRA recently conducted
under the SafeSurf initiative
in cooperation with Dr.
Nancy Willard, an expert on
cyberbullying challenges and
threats, was found that youths
using the Internet for more
than three hours a day leads
to the possible emergence
of negative or dangerous
behaviors and exposure to
cyber bullying, causing them
psychological disorder and
behavioral changes such
as depression and a sense
of helplessness as well as
absence from school and
physical violence in some .
“The Cyber Safety Award
is presented by SafeSurf
to allow young people and
adults in the Kingdom of
Bahrain to create innovative
awareness content in the field
of cyber safety.” Says TRA’s
Director of Consumer Affairs
and Media Sh. Abdullah
bin Humood Al Khalifa.
“We launched this award to
enact TRA’s responsibility to
spread awareness among the
community, shedding light on
the varied risks of the Internet
such as cyber bullying, fraud
and identity theft and many
others that impacts the social,
psychological and educational
aspect of life.”
The Cyber Safety Award
aims to encourage students
to achieve a safe cyber
culture in order to raise more
awareness about its impact
on daily life, as well as to
open the creative field for
the promising talents of the
Bahraini young generation
and involve them in
spreading awareness among
the community.
TRA invites those
interested in participating
in The Award to create a
short film (no more than 120
seconds) highlighting the
impact of excessive use of
social media on young people
and their social life. More
information on the award can
be found on www.safesurf.bh.
