L’ampleur des déplacements résultant de l’agression de la Russie contre l’Ukraine est immense. Sur les 4 millions de personnes déplacées bénéficiant d’une protection temporaire dans l’Union européenne, 1,3 million sont des enfants. Le dernier bulletin de l’Agence des droits fondamentaux de l’UE (FRA) sur l’Ukraine examine l’impact de la guerre sur les droits fondamentaux de ces enfants, les problèmes pratiques qu’ils rencontrent et les solutions possibles pour servir leur intérêt supérieur. Il met en lumière des situations précises dans lesquelles les besoins des enfants ne sont pas satisfaits, ni leurs droits pleinement respectés, protégés ou mis en œuvre.
The meeting will take place online on Monday 2 October 2023 from 11:00-15:30 CEST.

Il peut être plus facile d’obtenir des prestations sociales ou de trouver des informations grâce aux services publics en ligne. Cependant, il arrive parfois que les personnes âgées ne possèdent pas les compétences numériques nécessaires pour les utiliser, ce qui peut éventuellement les empêcher d’exercer leurs droits fondamentaux. Elles peuvent ainsi être désavantagées et risquer d’être exclues de nos sociétés numérisées. Tel est l’avertissement lancé par l’Agence des droits fondamentaux de l’Union européenne (FRA) dans un rapport. Les pays de l’UE doivent garantir un accès universel aux services publics. Les personnes âgées devraient être en mesure de choisir la manière d’y accéder et recevoir de l’aide pour acquérir des compétences numériques.
