Chicos.net working for the rights of children and adolescents. Some of the rights that most promotes the institution are as follows: The right to information and quality content, the possibility of expression and participation in issues that affect them and have the protection needed for health growth.
One of the programs developed for five years Chicos.net is "A responsible interaction with the Information Technology and Communication" . Through the actions that constitute it, the program seeks contribute to the prevention of violence , commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) and sexual abuse fostered by new technologies. To this end, operates through actions that promote awareness of these problems by social actors (children and adolescents, teachers, parents, etc..) In order to sensitize, educate and prevent violence through ICT and to promote the responsible use of ICT. On the other hand, one of the most common problems regarding the use of ICT by users, particularly adolescents, is the so-called cyberbullying, which refers to possible attacks by other peers.
