1 小时 29 分钟Welcome to the LSE Events podcast by the London School of Economics and Political Science.
Get ready to hear from some of the most influential international figures in the social sciences.
I will say good evening to those of you here and those of you watching online.
I'm Sonia Livingstone from the Department of Media and Communications here at LSE.
And I'd like to welcome you to this hybrid event.
uh called teens sexting and image image-based sexual abuse a child rights approach and i'm delighted to welcome uh tonight's speakers whose names in fact you can see here um professor lilia Green,
Professor Jessica Ringrose,
Dr Kim Salvada and Giselle Woodley and I'm going to introduce them properly in a minute but I first would like to just say that this event is hosted by the Digital Futures for Children Centre which together with the Five Rights Foundation was established a couple of years ago to research the opportunities and the barriers to a rights respecting digital world.
In our work we support an evidence base for advocacy,
we facilitate dialogue between academics and policy makers and we amplify the voices and experiences of children,
particularly within the framework of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and its general comment number 25 on how those rights apply in relation to the digital environment.
So you can visit our website to see our work and
as you will see we're going to try to to try to bring a child rights focus into the very lively ongoing debates about society's management of children's digital lives.
We're keen to ensure that these debates address the very important factors of safety,
privacy and security, but also that they consider the full range of children's rights to flourish.
in a digital world and we are particularly interested in exploring the responsibilities of governments and companies so
as to avoid burdening individuals with the task of managing today's largely opaque and unaccountable technological systems and business models so we ask what does good look like and how can we learn from children's everyday experiences to design better Just by way of a preface,
in our last report, I just wanted to mention,
our last report was on multi-stakeholder responses to a particularly challenging concern with technology facilitated child sexual exploitation and abuse.
which kind of illustrates in a very kind of pressing way some of the complex problems that we're trying to address in today's session and in all of our work.
