March 2026 marks five years since the adoption of UNCRC's General comment No. 25 (GC25), which states that children's rights, as outlined under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, extend to the digital environment. The comment was a milestone for children across the world: providing guidance on how to implement, embed and advocate for children's rights in the digital age.
To mark the fifth anniversary of GC25, the Digital Futures for Children centre and 5Rights are organising an online event, launching two new reports:
- 5Rights' best practices report, which will examine what good has looked like over the past five years.
- DFC's second GC25 report, which will look at how to assess impact across the world. Access the first report.
By identifying what works, we can look forward to what must happen next to ensure GC25’s standards are realised globally. The event will reflect on lessons learned across different regions and sectors, and set out priorities for the next phase of implementation.
Join us to celebrate this milestone, share learning, and look ahead to the future of children’s rights in the digital environment.
