Every year, up to one billion children experience violence. When online access is available, the internet can become a lifeline. Children can use digital platforms to access safety and protection when at risk of experiencing harm in person or online Protection through Online Participation (PoP) sets out five guiding principles to help children safely access protection and support through digital means. PROTECT. PROGRESS. PARTNER. PARTICIPATE. PUSH. Together, let us turn principles into action so every child can get safe, timely help when they need it. #EndViolenceAgainstChildren #PoPPrinciples #5Ps @ITU

🧠 Honoured to co-design and join the #AIforGood session on AI & Child Rights — even better to be interviewed by an incredible young moderator! Children must be part of the AI conversation from design to policy. Thanks to @JohnMalkia @UNICEF #ChildOnlineProtection #OnlineSafety
When AI works for children, it works for humanity as a whole. We must act now to uphold children’s rights in the digital age - with evidence, collaboration & the active participation of children themselves. Happy to host an intergenerational dialogue on this topic at #AIforGood.
