Cyber Safety education and training

Gen partners with The Trevor Project to help LGBTQ+ young people stay Cyber Safe

The Trevor Project is the leading organization working to prevent suicide amongst LGBTQ+ young people, a group particularly vulnerable to cyberbullying. Gen will help bolster TrevorSpace, the online community that allows those who identify as LGBTQ+ and allies to make connections. We will also create online resources to improve Cyber Safety education and promote digital safe spaces.

Gen is a proud supporter of Save the Children in India

Gen backs the organization’s "Creating a Safe and Enabling Experience for Children Online" program which provides online safety education to Indian children in Thiruvallur, Tamil Nadu, and Pune, Maharashtra. We increased parents’ and teachers’ awareness of the risks of exposing children to the internet, with training sessions for teachers completed in 50 schools.
