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.
