General Description

Dial CICC (3933) is a call center that not only assists victims of cybercrime. It is also a platform for educating the public about cybercrime, the cybercrime law, and the CICC. Its main aim is to provide opportunities and accessibility to citizens to develop capabilities to participate in upholding the law actively. The first step in achieving such is to raise public consciousness of cybercrime. Thus an assistance center accessible through landline, mobile, and internet will be launched.

Project Background

Despite the rampant cybercrime, the public is yet to become aware of the different options, remedies, and activities to combat such. One primary reason is the awareness of the people, not only of the various concepts and activities of cybercrime but of the governing institutions as well. Given such a situation, it is doubly hard for CICC, a coordinating center of various agencies that must fortify their identities and mandates to the public.

Thus, an information campaign that aims not only to educate but generate active public participation will be launched through an assistance center. This cybercrime victim assistance and coordinating platform will cater to queries, complaints, and education of the public. Coupled with a communication campaign, the project aims to teach cybercrime law to the public. This will spearhead active participation in upholding the cybercrime law.
