WEB GUARDIANS

JAN Trust launched Web Guardians™ in 2010, an innovative programme designed to educate and empower women to prevent online extremism, radicalisation and gang violence, ultimately building community resilience. Before the project went live, the women who have been at the heart of our grassroots centre and services were consulted to understand their needs and inform the programme. Web Guardians™ is the first of its kind, empowering women and mothers to tackle online extremism, radicalisation and gangs at the centre of community-based solutions. We are proud that we have delivered over 315 sessions of Web Guardians™ giving women new confidence and safeguarding knowledge to protect their children from extremism, radicalisation and gangs online... Through education and creating space for women to speak about these issues, we want to influence others and prevent extremism and violence in all its forms.
