The right of the child to freedom of expression 2014, para. 77
Paragraph
Paragraph text
It is important to engage children when creating Internet protection and promotion strategies to meet their needs and to use their diverse intellectual and creative strengths, especially given that children and young persons tend to be more in touch with the latest technologies. Such a strategy of engagement can also help to build trust and encourage open communication. The Committee on the Rights of the Child has recommended that all countries establish accessible and child-friendly reporting systems, with child-friendly helplines for protection (see CRC/C/GC/12, para. 120).
