Digital platforms are already impacting how young people can exercise their human rights – by participating in political debates and accessing information – but their rights can also be infringed by tech giants profiting from user data and putting their privacy at risk. So how can we ensure the digital space advances the rights of all young people and leaves no-one behind?
Through this content series, produced by Devex in partnership with Fondation Botnar, we’ll hear directly from young people in LMICs to get their take on these issues and to help build a space where policymakers, politicians, and digital platforms are being pushed for accountability and action.
Devex is the media platform for the global development community. A social enterprise, we connect and inform over one million development, health, humanitarian, and sustainability professionals through news, business intelligence, and funding & career opportunities so you can do more good for more people.
Fondation Botnar champions the use of AI and digital technology to improve the health and wellbeing of children and young people in growing urban environments around the world. They do this by supporting research, catalyzing diverse partners, and investing in scalable solutions.
