This session will address the growing challenge of child exploitation and abuse in digital environments and its implications for child protection and labour systems. Panelists will discuss how evolving technologies and business models are changing patterns of harm and response, and how governments, industry and partners can close accountability gaps through stronger regulation, safeguards, reporting pathways, coordinated enforcement, and survivor-centred services—grounded in a child-rights-based approach and informed by youth and survivor perspectives.

Interpretation is not available for the online broadcast.
