Our Rights in a Digital World – Snapshot

As children around the globe come online, the digital world becomes their reality; its culture and practice inseparable from any other aspect of their childhood. It is for that reason that we welcome the creation of the General Comment on Children’s Rights in Relation to the Digital Environment.

This short paper summarises the key findings of a major, international consultation undertaken by Professor Amanda Third and Lilly Moody from the Young and Resilient Research Centre at Western Sydney University, on behalf of the 5Rights Foundation, and with the support of 27 partner organisations around the world.

The full findings of the consultation will be published in Spring 2021.
