The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child has adopted General Comment 25 which ensures children's rights online. It includes children's civil rights, freedom, privacy, non-discrimination, protection, education and many other related topics in a digital environment.
Children from all around the world were consulted to contribute their ideas and comments, highlighting the importance of children's right to be heard. Members of the Committee created a video message to thank the work of more than 700 children from 27 countries. You can watch the video in the original article.
This is a big step in children's rights and will hopefully ensure a safer online experience for children.
