“SafenetCY” is the Hotline that promotes the safe use of Internet in Cyprus. It serves the needs of all people that live on the island (i.e., also Turkish-Cypriots and other minorities) and addresses not only issues of pornography, but also racism (currently on the rise in Cyprus), gender discrimination and inappropriate use of peoples’ images. | |||
