Abstract

We are living in a time when children have been removed from public space. As leisure and recreational activities have moved online, it is crucial to observe young people's participation rights, particularly young people who are marginalised and disadvantaged, in the online forum, particularly for those who may not have access to activities that take place in the digital environment. One of the main challenges to children's rights is the rapidly growing role of digital media and technology; children and young people spend increasing periods of time on digital platforms, and information and communication technologies form an essential dimension of children's lived experiences. Accessibility to online and digital spaces is therefore crucial to the realisation and implementation of children and young people’s rights (UN, 2013).
