For that purpose, cooperation was established primarily with educational institutions and NGOs on the whole territory of the Republic of Srpska. It is through these activities that students in primary and secondary schools are introduced to responsible and appropriate behaviour in digital environment, and how to protect their personal information and contents from being abused by other users online. Additionally, numerous activities of the Ministry were directed towards detecting and sanctioning the perpetrators of criminal offences committed via internet against the gender integrity of a child.
