Social Solidarity Minister Nivine el Kabbag stressed the importance of raising public awareness about social issues, saying that this would contribute to spreading community peace and guaranteeing personal security and the rights of vulnerable groups.
These are the most important pillars of the National Strategy for Human Rights, which was launched by President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, added the minister while launching a campaign to combat cyber extortion under the slogan “Do not be afraid.. Speak Up”.
The campaign was launched in cooperation with Al Korra For Sustainable Development.
Kabbag, meanwhile, launched a call to break the barrier of silence, urging women to reject all forms of blackmailing.
The minister further urged the society to shun negativity against wasting women’s rights.
It is increasingly worrisome that with the rise of the use of internet worldwide, cybercrime is becoming more aggressive and confrontational, she said. This can be seen across the various forms of cybercrime, including cyber extortion, added the minister.
