Tech must be safe for kids. Be the change.

Childhood Redrawn

About 5Rights

Founded as a campaign in 2012, 5Rights emerged from Baroness Beeban Kidron’s investigation into how technology was affecting children.

Today, we challenge a digital world that rewards speed, engagement and data over safety.

Together with more than 100 organisations and experts working across child rights, digital rights and mental health, we are calling on the European Commission President Ursual von der Leyen for a harmonised European framework to make technology safe for children by design and default. 

Kids get trapped by games they should never get manipulated by…

…they are promoted content they should never come across…

…and they sign terms and conditions that they should never be offered.

Kids lose real life connections they should never miss…

…they interact with strangers they should never be introduced to…

…and they trust technology they should never emotionally depend on.

Kids surrender their thinking to technologies they should never rely on…

…their self esteem depends on numbers they should never worry about…

…and they are drained by content they should never be addicted to.

Tech must be safe for kids. Be the change.

Join us in asking our leaders to be more ambitious and require companies do the right thing by our children.
