On September 20, the County Federation of Trade Unions and the County Women's Federation jointly hosted a campaign for "Personal Information Protection Day," as part of the 2026 National Cybersecurity Awareness Week. The initiative aligned with this year's theme, "Cybersecurity for the People, Cybersecurity by the People — Safeguarding the Digital Age."
Throughout the event, staff members from both organizations, alongside volunteer women advocates, employed a variety of methods, including banners, informational flyers, and on-site explanations, to promote cybersecurity laws and best practices for protecting personal data. Tailored to the risks of today's intelligent digital landscape, the volunteers highlighted key topics such as managing smartphone app permissions, data retention on short-video platforms, identifying suspicious links, guarding against telecom fraud, and safeguarding sensitive details like ID numbers and mobile phone numbers. They also shed light on common oversights in daily online habits that often leave individuals vulnerable.
Engaging directly with residents, the volunteers responded to queries and encouraged a shared sense of responsibility for online safety. Attendees were urged to protect their private information, reject harmful online content, and adopt disciplined digital conduct, fostering a community-wide understanding of being informed, vigilant, and secure in cyberspace. The campaign, designed to resonate with the public, successfully brought cybersecurity knowledge into everyday life and significantly expanded its reach and influence.
In total, the initiative distributed over 500 flyers and promotional items. It not only strengthened collective efforts toward a safer internet but also took concrete steps to shield citizens' interests, laying a solid groundwork for a more secure, transparent, and harmonious online environment.
