Protecting Children Digital Rights Violations Against Jerusalem Children & Youth
The report highlights the severe challenges faced by Palestinian children and youth in occupied East Jerusalem, focusing on systemic human rights violations, poverty, lack of education, and digital surveillance. It reveals that 81% of Palestinian children live below the poverty line, while 33% do not complete 12 years of schooling. The digital space has become a critical yet dangerous environment for youth, with widespread surveillance, cyberbullying, and censorship by Israeli authorities and social media platforms. The report also documents the arrest and prosecution of hundreds of children annually, often for social media activity or political expression. It calls for local and international action to protect children’s digital rights, improve awareness, and hold authorities accountable for violations.
