Introduction

Strong privacy habits are a form of online self-defense. As you practice and improve Internet privacy skills, you will find ways to avoid harmful interactions online and to defend yourself from inviasions of your digital privacy.

Protecting our online identities is supremely important as our phyiscal and virtual lives merge. Helping each other develop strong privacy habits is one way we can fight back against harmful online attacks that target groups like women and girls. This United Nations report on "Cyber Violence Against Women and Girls" highlights our shared, urgent need to safeguard ourselves and one another online.

This Privacy Teaching Kit has been built to help you engage, explore and evaluate your understanding of online privacy. You can remix the order of activites to suit yourself or your group of learners best.

Many activities in this agenda come from Teaching Privacy, and teacher-facing pages for the same activities can be found here.
