摘要：It has been claimed that an estimated one in three of all Internet users in the world today is below the age of 18 (Livingstone S. et al., 2015; UNICEF, 2017). Digital technologies can provide all children with more information, education, new opportunities and can be a game-changer for children in less developed countries. However, the 2017 UNICEF report on ‘Children in a digital world’ has revealed that many children from different parts of the world are still not connected to the internet confirming that the digital divide still is a reality (UNICEF, 2017). As research demonstrates that developmental challenges faced by certain regions or countries might have a negative impact on the protection of children’s rights overall (Livingstone S, 2014; UNICEF, 2017), questions arise as to what extent children throughout the world can exercise their rights in today’s increasingly digital society.
