Today, the third phase in Safe Space project, implemented by INSAF Center for Rights and Development with the support of the French Embassy in Yemen, concluded in Aden. The project aims to train journalists, influencers, and content creators on combating cyber blackmail and gender-based violence over a period of three days.
INSAF Center launched Safe Space project earlier last month, consisting of four phases. The first phase targeted judges and public prosecutors, the second phase targeted security and criminal investigation officers, and the third phase targeted journalists, influencers, and content creators. This phase took place in the past few days, while the fourth phase will target civil society organizations in the upcoming days.
The training covered various topics, including defining cyber blackmail, information security, basics of cyber security, handling cyber crimes, avoiding falling victim to cyber blackmail, the role of security and judiciary in protecting women from cyber crimes, and the risks of internet usage.
The trainer, Engineer Qaher Ali Saeed, a cyber security consultant, emphasized that the training covered multiple aspects of information security and personal data protection. It focused on raising awareness among participants on how to deal with cyber blackmail, protect victims, and communicate with them securely and effectively.
Participants expressed their gratitude to the center and the organizers of the training, emphasizing the importance of continuing such courses to address the challenges of the digital age.
