There are some things that you need to keep you happy, healthy, and safe. These things are called your ‘rights’. All rights are connected and nobody can take them away from you.

Your rights are gathered together in something called the UNCRC. This stands for the “United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child”, and it is where you’ll find some of the most important words ever written for children everywhere.

The rights in the UNCRC cover all the parts of your life. And adults and governments have to work together to make sure you enjoy all of them.

Your rights are important in your life offline, but they should also protect you in the online world.

Here are the five digital rights and how they affect you:

1. Your Right to Remove

This allows you to ask for anything you have posted online to be deleted.

3. Your Right to Safety and Support

This helps you to know who to go it if you need help, and to be protected from anything illegal.

4. Your Right to Informed and Conscious Use

This helps you control how you use technology, and how often you use it.

5. Your Right to Digital Literacy

This mean you will have the chance to learn how to use technology effectively.

Children’s Rights and Body Image 

Children notice that the way they feel about their bodies can be influenced by how they use social media and apps. 

This can happen in several ways: 

• They can choose who comments on their photos. 

• They can delete pictures they no longer like. 

• They can get help if they have a bad experience online. 

• They can control how much time they spend online, which can affect their feelings and well-being. 

Children believe their digital rights help them do these things and keep them safe while using the internet. They want other children to know about these rights so they can feel better about themselves online.

To help explain these rights, children have made comic strips
