During the COVID-19 pandemic, the internet became a critical tool for children’s
access to learning, play, entertainment and social interaction. Consequently, they become
exposed to cyber-bullying, grooming, online child sexual abuse, pornography, child
trafficking and other forms of exploitation. Government has taken significant steps to
ensuring that children are protected online through establishment of the Zimbabwe Child
Online Protection Committee (ZICOP), the drafting of the first ever child online protection
policy and the incorporation of child online protection provisions in the Cyber and Data
Protection Act. [Para 114]
