Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack In this podcast Rory discusess the issues of rising deprivation and homelessness amongst Ireland's children, with Tanya Ward, Director of the Children's Rights Alliance. The number in children experiencing enforced deprivation has increased from 200,000 to 257000 between 2021 and 2023, while the number of children homeless with their families has increased by 87% since 2021, yet we have billions in Budget Surplus. We discuss how the lifting of the eviction ban resulted in an increase in children and families in homelessness and the on-going cost of living crisis for families, the failure of government to implement targeted measures, and the public support for new initiatives from free school books to school meals. We highlight the need to continue to hold the ambition and hope to end child poverty and child and family homelessness. Support Rory and Dignity for Palestine:https://www.patreon.com/posts/111983961

Today, leading experts in Ireland and UK working in online safety come together to explore strategies that can be taken to create a safer digital space for children and young people. The event, held by the Children's Rights Alliance, looks at threats to the safety and wellbeing of children and young people in the online world as well as the impact of Coimisiún na Meán's Online Safety Code. Exposure to harmful content suggesting hate, self-harm and suicide, cyberbullying, and privacy violations are just some of the issues under the spotlight. Speaking ahead of the event, Noeline Blackwell, Online Safety Coordinator at the Children's Rights Alliance, said: "Creating a safe digital space for children and young people is not just a necessity but a fundamental right. We have seen technology evolve at breakneck speed, and while this has resulted in unparalleled opportunities for learning and connection, we must also address the risks emerging because our laws and policies have not kept pace with these rapid advancements. The exposure to harmful content, along with the potential for cyberbullying, means the digital world poses a real and imminent threat to our children's well-being and safety. With great power comes great responsibility and to date, social media giants simply have not displayed that responsibility. There has been a united outcry from parents, advocates, experts and even children and young people themselves for regulations that allow for a safe and engaging online environment. Looking at the current state of play and the daily damage occurring to the safety and well-being of children and young people from even just a few minutes online, it is vital that tech companies address these challenges head-on and are held accountable for any harm that occurs on their platforms. Implementation of effective measures are a must to safeguard and protect the rights of all their users, particularly those most vulnerable. We know that the tech expertise and capabilities are there to address these harms, there is no justifiable reason not to use them. Today's event is a unique opportunity to bring together experts working in the space to discuss and propose comprehensive strategies and steps we can all take to effectively ensure potential risks to children and young people's safety are mitigated. The ever-changing complexity of the online world demands consistent vigilance and revisiting of regulations so that we stay proactive in protecting our children's rights. A collective effort from policymakers, educators, non-governmental organisations and parents will help maximise impact in safeguarding children online but we need a solid foundation in the Online Safety Code to do so. Through making a conscious effort now to create a safer digital space, we are working towards children being able to experience the myriad of benefits technology can offer without compromising their well-being. It is our duty to create an online world where children can thrive safely and securely." Professor Sonia Livingstone, keynote speaker at today's event and one of Europe's foremost experts on children's rights in a digital age, commented: "It is crucial we join forces to strike a balance that provides children and young people with the safety necessary to benefit from digital opportunities without exposure to unnecessary harm. In order to succeed in this, we need to place a focus on efficient regulation that is not only effective in restricting harmful content but also promotes positive digital experiences and engagement. Tech companies have a duty of care to their users, and given its prominence in the tech landscape, Ireland is in a position to really lead across Europe through its new Online Code. We need to see tech giants in Ireland set a positive example and uphold their duty of care through robust regulatory policies that hold platforms accountable for their content and the experiences of users. It is unacceptable that falling victim to manipula...

Estamos no chamado maio laranja, mês de enfrentamento e prevenção ao abuso e à exploração sexual de crianças e adolescentes. Se engana quem pensa que os abusadores são pessoas desconhecidas. Isso nem sempre é verdade. Segundo o Anuário Brasileiro de Segurança Pública, a maioria dos abusos ocorre no ambiente familiar e é cometido por um homem, que é parente ou conhecido. São pais, padrastos, mas também tios, avôs, amigos dos pais da criança. No Opinião dessa semana, vamos tentar entender a diferença entre exploração e abuso sexual. Como podemos proteger nossos filhos? A partir de que idade é possível ensiná-los a identificar esse tipo de violência? Para falar sobre o assunto, receberemos a médica pediatra ANA CLAUDIA BRANDÃO, integrante do projeto "Eu Me Protejo" e LAÍS PERETTO, diretora-executiva da Childhood Brasil. Conversamos, também, remotamente, com a ex-nadadora JOANNA MARANHÃO, coordenadora de rede pela Sport & Rights Alliance, que se tornou uma ativista depois de revelar que sofreu abusos sexuais de seu treinador quando tinha apenas nove anos.
