Today, more than 1 billion people routinely use the Internet to stay in touch with friends and family, shop for goods and services, and learn more about the world around us.

In addition, many children use the Internet to

• Research information for school projects
• Play educational games
• Communicate with their peers around the world

Nothing can guarantee complete safety in cyberspace, but much can be done to minimize security risks. Working together, organizations, enterprises, and governments can develop strategies to protect children, from every country, who use the Internet every day.

As a result, in support of the UN Study on Violence Against Children, Protection in Cyberspace, Microsoft Corporation has created Internet Safety resources to help raise public awareness of computing security and Internet safety.

These resources are part of a broader initiative to help governments, policy makers, industry leaders, parents, teachers, and social organizations empower both children and adults to better protect their computers, families and themselves when using the Internet.

Take a look around this website to learn how you can become an active participant in making cyberspace safer for children around the globe.
