When shifting between offline and online environment, are our rights on automatic update setting? And what about children, who represent a third of the current internet users worldwide, are they properly empowered to make use of their rights? Enhancing children's protection through information and communication technologies is a top concern for various international organisations, both at the European and global level. However, along with technological developments, it seems that for children going online, the system often lacks proper provision and participation frameworks. In this flash session we will highlight how research evidence, best practices and awareness raising campaigns can support children’s rights and safety on the internet and how they can be brought to the attention in a call for action for a wide variety of stakeholders.
