- As part of her commitment to strengthening child participation and engagement with children around the world, the Special Representative was a keynote speaker at the fourth ASEAN Children's Forum, also hosted by the Government of Viet Nam. The Forum provided a platform for children from across ASEAN countries to reflect together on key concerns facing children and young people in the region and to propose recommendations to strengthen the protection of children from violence, to secure online safety and to fight trafficking. In the open debate held between the child representatives, representatives of the ASEAN Commission and the Special Representative, the young participants called for urgent measures to address emerging threats posed by online abuse and cyberbullying and reaffirmed their decisive role as agents of change in bringing an end to violence.
