Abstract [en]

Making humanitarian responses more inclusive of children in vulnerable situations and remote communities is challenging and subject to severe constraints. For children in vulnerable circumstances, access to response services, health care and basic information may be possible only through today’s digital environment – that is, if the children concerned have internet connections and can access and use digital technologies. ‘Children living in vulnerable circumstances’ in need of humanitarian access include those in armed conflicts, as well as children who are internally displaced, migrants, asylum seekers, refugees, unaccompanied children, children living in street settings and those affected by natural disasters. Accordingly, this chapter considers the relevance of meaningful access to the digital environment and digital inclusion, as emphasised in General Comment No. 25 (2021) on children’s rights in relation to the digital environment by the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child. Examples of digital technologies used in humanitarian response illustrate some of the challenges discussed. The author maintains that such technology must do no harm and that the current digitalised drive towards accountability, with its potential paradigm shift towards anticipation, is still in the making.
