Who we are

The world is changing faster than ever before, and so too are the challenges facing its most vulnerable people. As conflict and displacement, disasters and climate change, urbanization and disease outbreaks grow increasingly complex and interrelated, new strategies and approaches to humanitarian response and development assistance are greatly needed. At the same time, rapid advancements in digital technology, for example in generative AI, are creating new opportunities - and risks - for children. Digital divides are deepening and further excluding the most vulnerable children.

UNICEF is actively involved in leveraging digital technology to advance our mission of promoting the well-being of children around the world. UNICEF recognizes the transformative potential of digital technology in improving children's lives and is committed to using it to promote child rights everywhere. We want to make sure new technologies are inclusive and address the needs of children, women, minorities and special needs persons so all can be empowered by technology.

On this site, we provide resources and guidance around digital child rights and safety online, as well as information and updates about programmes and work we do with our partners. For the past 8 decades, we have been innovating for children and believe that new approaches, partnerships, and technologies that support the realization of children’s rights are critical to improving their lives.
