Digital Children's Right: Human Right Perspective

Muhammad Bello Nawaila, Umar Mohammed Kani and Sezer Kanbul

A chapter in Human Rights in the Contemporary World from IntechOpen

Abstract: The utilisation of digital devices and technologies is an integral part of children's daily lives. Besides the multiple opportunities associated to online environment, like education entertainment and communication, it has also been associated with various risks like grooming and cyber bullying. It is therefore important to assess the level of risk, mediation and digital literacy among children as they form the most vulnerable part of the society. We therefore in this chapter introduce a novel approach to analysing digital children's right by viewing it from the human right perspectives, where we focus and extensively discuss on digital child rights as they relate to digital divide, technological access, gender issues, internet opportunities and risks, previous studies, policies and rights, frameworks as well as rights of children as a human right.
