Protecting Children's Rights facing artificial intelligence: the Coalition for children's rights and protection in the age of Artificial intelligence as an Operational Tool.


On the margins of the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly, the Leaders of France, Spain, Kenya and Australia will convene Heads of State and Government and global leaders for a high-level dialogue to advance practical cooperation to protect the rights of children and their safety in the digital age.

This event will bring together Heads of State and Government, UN agencies and other key stakeholders from civil society and the private sector in order to continue the work begun in Evian and Geneva, with a specific focus on AI.

Three specific objectives are being pursued:

Gather Heads of States and Governments and global leaders to advance a shared agenda to protect children's rights in an increasingly digital world, including through safe and child-centered approaches to artificial intelligence models and applications.
Expand the Coalition for Children's Rights and Protection in the Age of Artificial Intelligence, by broadening the membership of this initiative, with an emphasis on the commitments made in Geneva at the UN Global Dialogue on AI Governance (July- 2026), and in Evian at the G7 2026 Leaders' Summit (June 2026).
Launch a Coalition roadmap for children's rights and protection in the age of AI, based on the work of the Evian Call, around concrete areas of focus in order to advance those commitments.

The event will be co-chaired by President Emmanuel Macron (France), President Pedro Sánchez (Spain), President William Ruto (Kenya) and Prime Minister Albanese (Australia).

Tribute to the women and girls reshaping technology through fearless innovation.

Did you know that women represent only 29.2% of the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) workforce ? The World Economic Forum's data paints a stark picture: at the current rate, closing the gender gap will take generations. With women still significantly underrepresented in core STEM fields, particularly in areas like software development and engineering (less than 25% globally), what urgent and impactful actions can we take to accelerate change?
