The Kompetenzzentrum Menschenrechte and RFK Human Rights Switzerland jointly invite you to an event on 16 May.

Although the so-called "Generation Z" also known as "digital natives" use electronic and interactive media as part of their daily lives, they are the ones who are most affected by virtual attacks; both as perpetrators and victims of "cyberbullying", "sexting", "grooming" and much more.

Understandably parents want to ensure the safety of their children: How far are they allowed to invade their children's privacy? And with what consequences? For example, smartwatches with GPS tracking are considered a means of ensuring the safety of children and young people, but they also offer enormous potential for abuse.

This event is intended to show how the personal rights of children are partially undermined in the digitalized everyday life of families, while at the same time parents and children become victims of a false idea of security. In addition, it will be presented what crime and violence prevention by the police looks like in practice and what those affected can do.
