Protecting Children on-Wiki: a Child Rights Solutions Workshop
10.08, 13:30–14:55 (Poland), Tbilisi (7)
Language: English

During this interactive workshop, participants will review the recommendations of the Wikimedia Foundation's recently published child rights impact assessment to prioritize actions and to collaboratively develop plans of action for the community to undertake in order to help keep children safe on Wikimedia projects.


In January, the Wikimedia Foundation published its first child rights impact assessment analyzing the human rights impacts and opportunities of Wikimedia projects on children, as well as the risks minors face in using or participating in Wikimedia projects. This report offered a number of recommendations for the Wikimedia movement to consider in order to better protect children on our projects. Using an interactive workshop format, participants will review and prioritize recommendations from this using a modified Eisenhower matrix to assess potential impact vs. urgency. Participants will then break into small groups to develop concrete plans of action for the community to undertake to implement the highest priority topics identified in the previous exercise. At the end, small groups will present their action plans to the entire group and receive feedback from other participants.
