Be.Safe is a project
that teaches people with intellectual disabilities
how to protect themselves against cybercrime.
Cybercrime is a crime that happens on the internet.
For example, if someone tells you in an online chat
that he will hurt you.
Or if someone tries to steal your money online.
The Be.Safe project started in 2017
and is finishing this year.
Inclusion Europe organised an event
for the end of the Be.Safe project.
This event took place at the
European Economic and Social Committee.
Different people spoke during the event.
Inclusion Europe director Milan Šveřepa said that many people
with intellectual disabilities
still can’t access the internet
or have an e-mail address.
At the event, there was a video message
by the MEP Elissavet Vozemberg.
Another speaker was Simon Lesur,
a self-advocate from France.
Simon said that he learned a lot
while taking part at the project.
Speakers from other organisations
came as well.
They said that when a cybercrime happens
many people don’t say anything about it to the police.
Ms. Adamowicz said that she is willing to help
in fighting against crime and hate
that happen on the internet.
All the project participants
will keep working on fighting cybercrime.
The goal is to make the internet more safe
for people with intellectual disabilities.
