The meeting will focus on strengthening child participation across the EU and discuss the Democracy Toolkit, progress on the Platform’s work plan and future priorities. This will include updates on the cyberbullying survey and the European Child Guarantee.
FRA will contribute relevant findings from its report on integrated child protection systems, which highlights child participation as an essential element of effective and rights-based child protection. It will also draw on its report on LGBTIQ equality.
LGBTIQ youth are especially targeted by online hate and disinformation, which has increased significantly since 2019.
