Amman, May 19 (Petra) — A national awareness campaign focused on
digital risks associated with electronic gaming was launched Monday
amid growing concerns over online safety and the expanding use of
digital platforms among children and young people.

The campaign, launched under the slogan “Gaming Is Their Right Their
Safety Is Our Responsibility,” was organized by Generations For Peace
under the patronage of Prince Faisal bin Al Hussein, founder and
chairman of the organization.

The event was attended by Prince Omar bin Faisal, Princess Ayah bint
Faisal, Princess Sarah bint Faisal and Princess Aisha bint Faisal.

Organizers said the initiative aims to strengthen awareness of
digital risks, promote safer online behavior and encourage
responsible use of electronic games and digital platforms.

The launch event included presentation of a study prepared by the
Generations For Peace Institute examining major digital risks facing
young people online, alongside statistics highlighting the potential
harms associated with unsafe digital practices and the shared
responsibilities of parents and children in promoting online safety.

The event also featured a discussion session involving
representatives from the Jordan Esports Federation, security agencies
and UNICEF focused on safe gaming environments, prevention measures
and the growing role of digital platforms in youth culture.

According to organizers, the campaign is based on three main pillars:
awareness, behavioral change and community protection and response,
with the goal of strengthening digital safety standards for children
and youth across different age groups.

Youth Minister Raed Adwan said the campaign supports broader national
efforts aimed at creating safer digital environments for young people
through cooperation between public institutions and community
organizations.

Minister of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship Sami Smeirat said
protecting children and adolescents online has become a shared
national responsibility requiring coordination among families,
schools, media institutions, government agencies and technology
platforms.

Smeirat added that gaming and esports represent promising sectors
within Jordan’s economic modernization plans because of their role in
supporting innovation, creativity and youth empowerment, while
stressing the importance of strengthening digital safety and
addressing challenges linked to online content and gaming platforms.

Chief Executive Officer of Generations For Peace Lama Hattab said the
campaign seeks to expand public awareness about safe engagement in
digital spaces and strengthen cooperation between institutions,
families and young people in addressing digital challenges.

Meanwhile, EU Ambassador to Jordan Pierre Christophe Chatzisavas said
digital risks linked to electronic gaming have become a global
challenge requiring coordinated international efforts, while praising
Jordan’s efforts to enhance digital awareness and child protection.
