KATHMANDU: TikTok has introduced its Safety Ambassadors Programme in Nepal, reinforcing its commitment to creating a safe and welcoming digital environment for its diverse community.
The programme aims to raise awareness about digital safety challenges, empowering users to express themselves online confidently and freely. Through the #SaferTogether initiative, TikTok collaborates with Nepal’s top TikTok creators, celebrities, and key opinion leaders, who will serve as Safety Ambassadors. These ambassadors will promote online safety and educate users about the platform's in-app safety features.
The Safety Ambassadors Programme in Nepal features well-known personalities such as Oshin Sitaula, Parakram Rana, Sushant Pradhan, Manjita Manandhar, Rastra Bimochan Timalsena, Shree Pandey, Priyanka Karki, Anish Tamang, Ishtu Karki, Bipin Sthapit, Sarika Neupane, Mahima Adhikari, Sabitra Bhandari, Rehan Shrestha, Roneeshma Shrestha, and Deepak Sundas.
Selected for their influence and ability to engage users in meaningful discussions, these ambassadors will support TikTok’s mission to foster respectful and safe online interactions. The initiative addresses critical topics including safe content creation, dangerous challenges, misinformation, harassment, online trolling, cyberbullying, respecting cultural norms, protection from online scams, minor safety, and how to get help if victimised.
With over 1 billion monthly active users globally, TikTok remains a hub for creative expression. This localised campaign in Nepal highlights TikTok’s proactive efforts to partner with local stakeholders in building a secure digital environment. By collaborating with Safety Ambassadors, TikTok aims to cultivate a culture of digital responsibility in Nepal’s online community.
