This paper is the first of a series of discussion papers on children’s rights and business in a digital world from UNICEF, starting with a discussion of Privacy, protection of personal information, and reputation rights.
While there is now a widely accepted public imperative to protect children from harm, abuse and violence online, there has been comparatively little consideration of how to empower children as active digital rights-holders.
At the same time, the rapidly expanding power and reach of the ICT sector have thrust communications and technology companies into key policy debates around the risks and opportunities children encounter online.
