At the training course, the students shared basic knowledge related to children's rights, for example, the definition of Children's Rights under the International Convention on the Rights of the Child, under the 2016 Law on Children of Vietnam; rights groups; address to report child rights violations…; The main focus of the training was on the characteristics of the internet, cyber safety, cyber risks for children with disabilities, and potential risks to children in cyberspace, with special emphasis on the risks of gender-based violence and sexual abuse. In addition, how to prevent and respond to children with disabilities risks in the online environment and some report addresses, advice, and support when risks occur in the online environment have also been provided to them.
