The Arab Internet Safety Portal “Amanak” is an integral project addressing the issue of
on line safety in the Arab region. Stemming from a growing concern about the
importance of ensuring the safety of young people and families on the Internet in the
last couple of years, this ambitious plan is to create and avail an interactive platform for
all Arab countries to share information, best practices, resources and concerns about
children’s online safety. Most importantly, the AIS offers a platform for a dialogue, among
the Arab community. Amanak will also be a repository of knowledge and progress in the field.
The creation of the AIS was a decision of the 2nd International Executive Board meeting of the Cyber Peace Initiative of the Suzanne Mubarak Women’s International Peace Movement in 2009, to bridge a gap in existing in Arab resources and information related to the issue of family online safety. The portal is implemented in cooperation with the Egyptian Ministry of Communications and Information Technology.
