The digital age presents numerous risks for children, ranging from exposure to inappropriate content to threats like cyberbullying and online predators. Parental digital literacy plays a critical role in safeguarding children from these risks. However, socio-cultural factors in Ghana, such as traditional parenting norms and limited access to digital education, can hinder parents’ ability to engage effectively in child online protection.
This study, conducted by the Ghana Internet Safety Foundation, evaluates the knowledge levels of parents in the Ashanti Region concerning digital safety and their ability to implement protective measures for their children.
