LAHORE:Punjab University in collaboration with National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) organised an awareness walk on cybercrime to send a forceful message against cyber harassment, digital blackmail, online fraud, cyber-bullying and the misuse of social media.
The walk witnessed particularly enthusiastic participation by female students, who raised slogans against online harassment and intimidation and called for safer digital spaces for women and young people. Students asserted that harassment behind a screen is still harassment that cybercrime must be reported rather than silently endured, and that Pakistan’s digital spaces must become safer, more responsible and more accountable.
Dean Faculty of Health Sciences Prof DrRehanSadiq Sheikh, Director Pakistan Study Centre Prof DrAmjad Abbas Magsi, Director Sports Dr Shabbir Sarwar, Director Students Affairs Prof DrShahzeb Khan, Additional Director NCCIA Atif Ameer, Deputy Directors Hassan Naqvi, M Waqas, hostels’ wardens, superintendents and a large number of students were present on this occasion.
PU and NCCIA officials in a meeting agreed on a sustained institutional partnership for promoting safer cyber spaces across the University. It was decided that a student society dedicated to Safe Cyber Spaces would be formed to engage students directly in awareness, responsible digital citizenship and peer outreach. PU and NCCIA will collaborate on a series of awareness seminars, interactive sessions and educational activities across the University.
