ISLAMABAD:

To help Pakistani families navigate the digital world safely, Google Thursday unveiled Digital Pasban - a national initiative bringing practical online safety tools directly into homes across the country.

Announced at the Safe Raho with Google event, Digital Pasban is designed to empower parents and children as more families go online for learning, entertainment, and everyday tasks.

The initiative aims to reach 200,000 households with localized Urdu toolkits, instructional videos, and hands-on training. This nationwide effort brings together key partners—including the PTA, Tech Valley, Beaconhouse School System, and HUM Network.
