About the Tdh session
The session demonstrated how digital innovations can help protect children worldwide by supporting social workers to strengthen child protection mechanisms, target perpetrators directly, and empower children using apps.
NGOs and technical innovation are not natural partners. However, ICT and digital innovation can help NGOs do better on a larger scale. AI can empower user data. It can help automate, identify partners, and predict policies and strategies. It can enable humans working to protect children make better decisions based on better data.
