Vietnam launches 2026 campaign to protect children in the digital age

Vietnam's Ministry of Health has launched guidelines for the Month of Action for Children 2026. The campaign, themed 'Happy and safe children confidently stepping into the digital era', will focus on child protection, digital safety, and mental well-being. A national ceremony in late May or early June will mark the official start.

The initiative aims to strengthen leadership in child care, education, and online protection. Key priorities include preventing violence, improving digital skills, and ensuring safe school environments. Mental health support and accident prevention training will also form part of the programme.

Activities will range from policy discussions and health check-ups to swimming lessons and injury prevention workshops. The National Child Protection Hotline 111 will remain a central support channel for families and children. Meanwhile, visits to disadvantaged children, gift distributions, and the construction of child-friendly spaces will continue across the country. Local and central authorities have been instructed to develop detailed response plans. Expanded communication campaigns will promote the initiative's messages, encouraging schools, families, and communities to play an active role in safeguarding children.

The Month of Action for Children 2026 will roll out nationwide with structured activities and clear guidelines. Authorities will monitor progress in digital safety, mental health, and accident prevention. The campaign's success will depend on coordinated efforts between government bodies, schools, and families.
