Public safety and awareness initiatives in Alexandria

Overview

In Alexandria, Egypt, authorities and local organizations have launched several initiatives focused on public safety and digital protection.

Initially, the Alexandria Media Complex and the National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (NTRA) conducted a digital awareness seminar. The program focused on cybersecurity, advising citizens to use official app stores, antivirus software, and to protect personal data to prevent electronic extortion. The seminar also highlighted tools for child safety and the importance of maintaining active phone lines.

Following this, the ‘Khoutwa Aman’ (Step of Safety) initiative was launched at the Alexandria Library to combat human trafficking. This program, organized by the Victims of Trafficking Assistance Fund, utilized community engagement such as a 5-kilometer awareness marathon to educate the public, particularly youth, on the risks of exploitation and digital recruitment tactics used by traffickers.
