To examine how children’s rights to provision, protection and participation are being enhanced or undermined in the digital age, UNICEF and the London School of Economics and Political Science hosted a symposium of 35 invited international experts on 12-14 February 2015. The aim of the meeting was to build on current understandings of the risks and opportunities afforded to children worldwide as they gain access to internet-enabled technologies of one kind or another.
