The Girls'Net theme for 2008 is "Promoting safe and secure ICT environment". This theme was chosen because there are many incidences on the Internet and cell phones where girls are daily harassed or violated against. Sometimes girls end up meeting these perpetrators of violence and are further exploited. There are also incidences on the rise of girls being trafficked or even kidnapped. In these cases, girls could get sold as sex slaves, raped, work slaves and other types of exploitation.
So, Girls'Net focus during the campaign is to bring awareness about ICT dangers, promote safety in that envoronment and also enable girls to use ICT tools strategically.
