Child Rights
Technology has become part of our everyday life.
The advance of digital technology has had many positive impacts on children’s lives. It has enabled access to education and healthcare, enhanced the rights to information and freedom of expression and supported the development of relationships with family and friends. We continue to drive programmes to capitalise on the positive impacts of the connectivity and digital services we provide for our customers and the communities where we operate. You can learn more in our Empowering People page.
We also recognise children are a particularly vulnerable group in today’s digital world. UNICEF states that children “can be disproportionately, severely and permanently impacted by business activities, operations and relationships” and as such merit special consideration and attention from businesses when they consider their human rights impacts. Vodafone is committed to upholding child rights at all stages of our business operations. We seek to support children and their parents to become responsible digital citizens. This includes up to date guidance and conversations about safe and responsible conduct in cyberspace.
You can learn more about the civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights that all children everywhere are entitled to here.
