Today at the Giga Connectivity Forum, Marija Manojlovic highlighted the importance of safe digital connectivity for children. 🎤 "We’re at a crucial moment in time – we find ourselves in a technological super cycle, marked by heightened volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. To navigate these huge cycles of change, we need to take a long-term perspective, while taking smaller corrective actions now." Marija stressed the need for connectivity and digital technologies in shaping our children's future. While technology offers new opportunities, many children remain unconnected, missing out on crucial opportunities to grow, learn and thrive. She emphasised the serious harms children face online, from cyber-bullying to sexual exploitation, with one incident of online child abuse reported every second. Safe Online has invested nearly $100 million in over 100 global projects to combat this crisis, shaping policies, developing technology tools, and reaching millions through advocacy campaigns. Marija called for a global, coordinated response to prioritise children's safety in the digital world. The journey to universal connectivity must prioritise child online safety - all children should benefit from digital opportunities but these need to be age-appropriate and safe!
