One-third of the globe’s youth is bullied. It affects everyone: those who are bullied, those who bully others, and those who witness bullying. And it doesn’t stop in the physical world. It happens online, too.
Kindly is a uniquely qualified solution to eliminate cyberbullying
Partners Gitanjali Rao and UNICEF provide the principles that make Kindly an excellent digital tool that empowers children.
Protection of childen's rights and data
To take full account of children's issues and rights online, UNICEF has developed a Manifesto for data governance to protect children’s data and their rights and prioritize children’s best interests. Thus, UNICEF is uniquely positioned to provide strong child data protection guarantees and offer a trusted digital public good that puts children first.
An open-source solution for anyone to contribute to
By developing Kindly as an open-source solution, UNICEF encourages and empowers children to be part of the solution to a challenge that many of them face directly. Kindly provides systems of iterative improvement that allow the tool to meet the specific needs of different communities.
Engaging children directly in a solution to cyberbullying
While similar services to Kindly exist in the market, they do not engage children in the way Kindly aims to. Kindly gives children themselves the power to eliminate cyberbullying by checking their messages, and centers their own safety and protections in the solution.
