UNICEF BHUTAN/2017/SHERPA v FOREWORDForewordThe State of the Worlds Children 2017 is about an extraordinary subject that increasingly affects almost every aspect of life for millions of children around the world and, indeed, for us all: digital tech nology. As the influence of digital tech nology andespecially the internet has increased, the debate about its impact has grown louder: Is it a boon to humankind, offering unlimited opportunity for communication and commerce, learning and free expression? Oris it a threat to our way of life, undermining the social fabric, even the political order, and threatening ourwell-being? This is an interesting but essentially academic debate. Because for better and for worse, digital tech nology is a fact of ourlives. Irreversibly.For better: The boy living with cerebral palsy, interacting online on an equal footing with his peers, for the first time in his life his abilities more visible than his disability.The girl who fled the violence in the Syrian Arab Republic with her family, recapturing her future guided by a teacher at the Zaatari refugee camp as she uses a digital tablet tolearn.The young blogger in the Democratic Republic of the Congo using the internet to report on the lack of safe water and sanitation and other serious issues inhiscommunity.For worse:The girl who is forbidden by the rules of herfamily or her society to go online, missing out on the chance to learn and connect withfriends. The teenager whose personal informationismisused by marketers andshared online.The boy whose video game habit has takenover his life, at least according tohisparents. And worse still:A boy driven nearly to suicide by cyberbullying that follows him everywhere.A 14-year-old girl whose ex-boyfriend created a social media profile featuring nude pictures he forced her to take of herself. An eight-year-old girl in the Philippines forced to perform live-stream sex acts by aneighbour who operates a child sexual abuse website.UNICEF THE STATE OF THE WORLDS CHILDREN 2017viBeyond the harm to individual children that digital tech nology can enable or abet is its capacity to incite violence on a massive scale that affects the lives and futures of hundreds of thousands of children. We need look no further for confirmation of this grim potential than an insidious social media campaign in Myanmar this year that incited horrific violence against members of the Rohingya eth nic minority, which resulted in the killing and maiming of children and forced hundreds of thousands to flee towards uncertain futures. The internet is all of these things, reflecting and amplifying the best and worst of human nature. It is a tool that will always be used for good and for ill. Our job is to mitigate the harms and expand the opportunities digital tech nology makes possible.Thats what this report is about. It surveys the landscape of digital opportunity as it relates to and affects children. It examines the digital divides that prevent millions of children from accessing through the internet new opportunities to learn and, someday, to participate in the digital economy, helping to break intergenerational cycles of poverty. It also explores the undeniably dark side of the internet and digital tech nology, from cyberbullying to online child sexual abuse to Dark web transactions and currencies that can make it easier to conceal trafficking and other illegal activities that harm children. It reviews some of the debates about less obvious harms children may suffer from life in a digital age from digital dependencies to the possible impact of digital tech nology on brain development and cognition. And it outlines a set of practical recommendations that can help guide more effective policymaking and more responsible business practices to benefit children in a digital age.Equally important, this report includes the perspectives of children and young people on the impact of digital tech nology in their lives telling their own stories abouttheissues that most affect them. Their voices matter ever more and are louder than ever before in a digital world. A world they are not only inheriting, buthelping to shape. By protecting children from the worst digitaltech nology has to offer, and expanding their access to the best, wecantip the balance for the better.
