Report: Strengthening Investment and Accountability in Digital Literacy and Human Rights
Digital technologies are transforming the global health landscape, presenting both opportunities and risks to human rights, especially for historically marginalised populations. While digital tools can improve access to health information and services, reduce stigma, and increase autonomy, digital platforms also present risks, including inequitable access to technology, resulting in digital divides and exacerbating existing societal inequalities. Lack of effective governance and regulation of digital technologies has also led to a lack of protection for users.
