In 2025, DHRP published ‘Paying the costs of connection: Human rights in the digital age in Colombia, Ghana, Kenya and Vietnam’. The report explores young adults’ experiences and opinions of the digital transformation and how it affects their health and human rights. As it uses a participatory action research approach, it helps fil a gap in current knowledge and practice, as young people are often left out of decision-making and policy discussions that affect their lives.
Our findings highlight four key themes demonstrating that many factors interconnect to shape young adults’ experiences of human rights in the digital age in Colombia, Ghana, Kenya and Vietnam.
