Safer Internet for Children in Prague

One way that the Czech Republic is focusing on eGovernance is by creating a safer environment for web usage. In April of 2009 the Czech Republic held a ministerial conference called "Safer Internet for Children - fighting together against illegal content and conduct on-line."

Topics addressed at the conference were cyberbullying, grooming, and sexual abuse among others. There was further work done to strengthen legislative steps in combating online child sexual abuse and pornography. Also, national alert systems were set up collaborating throughout European countries.

A European Financial Coalition was set up to fund efforts in fighting commercial child sexual abuse. This effort streamlines the financial backing of several stakeholder groups who share an interest in creating a safer internet atmosphere for all to enjoy the benefits.
