Dear Wikimedians,
On behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation, I am pleased to announce the publication of our first child rights impact assessment https://diff.wikimedia.org/2024/01/17/protecting-youth-online-wikimedia-foundation-publishes-its-first-child-rights-impact-assessment/ (CRIA). This report forms an important part of the Foundation’s long-term efforts to meet the commitments articulated in our Human Rights Policy https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Policy:Human_Rights_Policy. The assessment builds upon our 2020 organizational Human Rights Impact Assessment https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Human_Rights_Impact_Assessment (HRIA), which identified risks to children’s rights as one of five categories of significant human rights risks facing the Foundation and Wikimedia communities. The HRIA recommended that the Foundation undertake a targeted assessment to better understand this category of risks.
What is in the report?
Publishing this CRIA represents a significant step forward in the Foundation’s human rights endeavors. The CRIA was prepared by Article One https://articleoneadvisors.com/, a strategy consultancy with expertise in human rights. In it, Article One identifies and analyzes the impacts, risks, and opportunities posed to children that access and participate in Wikimedia projects. It proposes recommendations that the Foundation and Wikimedia’s volunteer community could implement to mitigate those risks, so that children can fully benefit from participating in our projects
Of the recommendations, the Foundation is positioned to act upon a number of them, while others provide an opportunity for collaboration between the Foundation and the volunteer community to address, and others the volunteer community is better positioned to lead. We hope these recommendations will give us all a basis for dialogue and collaboration around making Wikimedia a safer space for children.
Making sense of the findings
To help you digest this report, we’ve prepared a number of resources for you, including:
-
A Diff blog pos https://diff.wikimedia.org/2024/01/17/protecting-youth-online-wikimedia-foundation-publishes-its-first-child-rights-impact-assessment/t summarizing the findings of the CRIA and what it means for the movement; -
A Meta page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Child_Rights_Impact_Assessment to serve as the “home” for the report and to provide more background information on the report, including its objectives, the timeline in which it was completed, the methodology that was employed to develop the report, and actions the Foundation has taken since first receiving the report; -
The full report https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:ArticleOne_-_WMF_Child_Rights_Impact_Assessment_Report_2023.pdf, which contains a foreword from the Foundation’s General Counsel, an executive summary, a risk analysis, and recommendations. The report is available in English, French and Spanish.

Hi Ricky,
Thank you for sharing this important information with the community. I'm particularly interested in the recommendations that the Foundation and the volunteer community could implement to mitigate the risks that children face when accessing and participating in Wikimedia projects.
I think it's important that we do everything we can to make Wikimedia a safe space for children, and I'm glad that the Foundation is taking this issue seriously.
I'm also interested in hearing from other members of the community about their thoughts on the risks and recommendations from the report.
I think it's important that we have a dialogue about this topic so that we can come up with the best possible solutions.
I'm looking forward to the community conversation hours on Friday. I hope to see you there!
Best Regards, Aliyu Shaba.

Would it be possible that you somehow further connect the meta page and the commons document to this meta page (or set of pages...) to increase findability in the future ?
https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Policy:Human_Rights_Policy
I could drop a link there, but maybe it deserve a slightly better treatement (sentence or paragraph in the Human Rights Policy page ?)
Just to give a bit of background... a diff is for immediate consumption. But will soon be in the depth of the site. In one month... it will be invisible.
The meta page is hardly connected to any other wiki page. So if people do not know it exist... they will not find it by chance (see here : https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Wikimedia_Foundation_C...)
And the report on Commons (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:ArticleOne_-_WMF_Child_Rights_Impact...) does not really have any good categories that would help people find it either (right now... only taggued with a currently non existant category).
So your current announcements and coverage is great NOW. But is not great for the future. It is not connected enough to other long standing regular pathways.
Thanks in advance for your help to give a long lasting impact for your work !

Hi Florence,
Thanks so much for this feedback- it's incredibly helpful! We've added some categories to the report's Meta page to help folks find it easier, and will do the same on Commons. As for connecting this page further- yes, I fully intend to! One of my objectives for the next few months is to create a centralized page about our human rights work that links to our Human Rights Policy, this and other human rights impact assessments, human rights-related resources, and other pages and documents that support the Foundation's work in meeting our human rights commitments.
Thank you again! Ricky Gaines

Halo Ricky,
Terima kasih banyak atas kabar yang baik ini. Saya pribadi mendapatkan sedikit kesempatan kecil untuk terlibat dalam proses konsultasi, dan saya sangat menyambut baik hasil laporan ini. Dari sisi komunitas, setidaknya pada komunitas Wikimedia dalam bahasa-bahasa yang dipertuturkan di Indonesia, laporan ini dapat menjadi bahan rujukan penting untuk kerja sama antar pemangku kepentingan di masa depan untuk melindungi keamanan dan memenuhi hak-hak anak yang menjadi kontributor aktif dan pembaca pada proyek-proyek Wikimedia.
Selamat kepada semua anggota tim yang terlibat!
Teriring salam, Ramzy

In it, Article One identifies and analyzes the impacts, risks, and opportunities posed to children that access and participate in Wikimedia projects. It proposes recommendations that the Foundation and Wikimedia’s volunteer community could implement to mitigate those risks, so that children can fully benefit from participating in our projects
Of the recommendations, the Foundation is positioned to act upon a number of them, while others provide an opportunity for collaboration between the Foundation and the volunteer community to address, and others the volunteer community is better positioned to lead. We hope these recommendations will give us all a basis for dialogue and collaboration around making Wikimedia a safer space for children.

Dear Wikimedians,
On behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation, I am pleased to announce the publication of our first child rights impact assessment https://diff.wikimedia.org/2024/01/17/protecting-youth-online-wikimedia-foundation-publishes-its-first-child-rights-impact-assessment/ (CRIA). This report forms an important part of the Foundation’s long-term efforts to meet the commitments articulated in our Human Rights Policy https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Policy:Human_Rights_Policy. The assessment builds upon our 2020 organizational Human Rights Impact Assessment https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Human_Rights_Impact_Assessment (HRIA), which identified risks to children’s rights as one of five categories of significant human rights risks facing the Foundation and Wikimedia communities. The HRIA recommended that the Foundation undertake a targeted assessment to better understand this category of risks.
What is in the report?
Publishing this CRIA represents a significant step forward in the Foundation’s human rights endeavors. The CRIA was prepared by Article One https://articleoneadvisors.com/, a strategy consultancy with expertise in human rights. In it, Article One identifies and analyzes the impacts, risks, and opportunities posed to children that access and participate in Wikimedia projects. It proposes recommendations that the Foundation and Wikimedia’s volunteer community could implement to mitigate those risks, so that children can fully benefit from participating in our projects
Of the recommendations, the Foundation is positioned to act upon a number of them, while others provide an opportunity for collaboration between the Foundation and the volunteer community to address, and others the volunteer community is better positioned to lead. We hope these recommendations will give us all a basis for dialogue and collaboration around making Wikimedia a safer space for children.
