✨Dear colleagues, in 2021, the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child introduced General Comment No. 25 on children's rights in the digital environment, marking a milestone in aligning child rights with the digital age. But what real impact has it had?
📢 Join our hybrid discussion of new in-depth research findings by the Digital Futures for Children centre, which tracked the recognition, uptake, and implementation of children's rights in an increasingly connected world. Drawing from UN treaty monitoring, national policies, regional frameworks, and civil society advocacy, the panel will consider how international law influences policy and practice, recognising progress, obstacles, and pathways for change.
