This week "Anppcan Regional Office" is in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia for the ARISE Africa II Convening by the African Union to adopt the Common African Position on Ending Violence Against Children and validate the African Union Model Law on Child Online Safety.
Informed by the increasing challenges resulting from emerging technologies and platforms, we are advancing cogent discussions aimed to strengthen the legal and policy frameworks to protect children across Africa in the digital space. The convening builds on the continent’s commitment to place children and young people at the centre of efforts to end violence and ensure their voices influence decision-making.
We call upon state and non-state actors in Africa to be part of this process and prioritize implementing measures, protocols and solutions to protect children in the online space.
