Digital protection from social media risks
Completed
Challenge
Numerous online groups and social media channels have been created to offer support to Ukrainian refugees, but limited safeguards coupled with widespread use has increased refugees’ exposure to risks when looking for support or work online.
Solution
UNHCR will strengthen or establish a community-based vetting system for suspicious or malicious posts and develop refugee and social media administrator’s skills to identify and report such posts
Impact
Refugees’ exposure to online risks reduced, increased community engagement around this issue. 50 people will directly benefit from the programme, with up to 50,000 indirectly affected.
