[00:02:11] of the Child Protection and Welfare Bureau, Distinguished
[00:02:14] Parliamentarians, Senator Bushabad who is here with
[00:02:18] us, policymakers, law
[00:02:21] enforcement, officials, child rights,
[00:02:24] experts, representatives of civil
[00:02:27] society, it's and honor to
[00:02:31] welcome you all here today. I
[00:02:34] in am grateful to the Ministry of Human Rights, UN
[00:02:37] FBA and UNICEF for their partnership and
[00:02:41] support in organizing this very important event
[00:02:44] today. Today we have
[00:02:48] gathered around a question that concerns
[00:02:52] every parent, every policy maker and every
[00:02:55] society. How do we
[00:02:58] of ensure that the digital world our children are growing
[00:03:02] up is a world that also protects
[00:03:05] them rather than putting them into
[00:03:08] danger. the internet offers
[00:03:12] extraordinary opportunities for
[00:03:14] of learning, creativity and connection, but we cannot
[00:03:18] ignore the other side of this reality which
[00:03:21] involves cyber bullying, which involves online
[00:03:25] harassment, sexual exploitation, the harmful content
[00:03:29] which is a... libal and the misuse of children's personal data
[00:03:34] of as per UNFPA's report on technology
[00:03:37] facilitated gender based
[00:03:39] violence, it occurs when
[00:03:43] digital technologies are used to facilitate
[00:03:47] abuse, harassment, threats or
[00:03:50] exploitation disproportionately affecting
[00:03:54] women and girls, we must ensure
[00:03:57] of together that our online spaces are safe,
[00:04:01] accountable and respectful of every child's
[00:04:05] rights. the
[00:04:08] of disrupting harm in Pakistan study conducted by
[00:04:12] of UNICEF
[00:04:13] of presents deeply concerning findings
[00:04:16] also. approp, it says that
[00:04:20] approximately one in 16 internet using
[00:04:23] children aged 12 to 17 in
[00:04:26] Pakistan, experienced
[00:04:28] of technology facilitated. sexual exploitation or
[00:04:32] abuse in the preceeding
[00:04:34] year. These are not just
[00:04:37] statistics, behind every number is a
[00:04:40] child whose
[00:04:42] of safety, dignity and future was
[00:04:46] of compromised. As chairperson
[00:04:49] of the child protection and welfare bureau, I believe that
[00:04:52] protecting children requires both
[00:04:56] in intervention of and a commitment to preventing harm before it.
[00:05:01] and I always say accountability comes later,
[00:05:05] it's
[00:05:05] me more important that we work towards prevention.
[00:05:09] Every year, as Nadia mentioned, the bureau rescue. use and
[00:05:13] rehabilitates thousands of vulnerable children while providing them
[00:05:17] with education, care and opportunities to rebuild their lives
[00:05:20] and become empowered, self-reliant
[00:05:23] individuals. Over the years,
[00:05:27] I've worked to strengthen the child protection framework in
[00:05:31] Punjab, so now Alhamdulillah, we have a child protection
[00:05:34] system operating with the support of honorable chief minister
[00:05:38] Punjab, Mariam navas. Also, we played.
[00:05:42] very integral role in the approval the child
[00:05:46] marriage restraint bill with the help of honorable speaker Malik Ahmed who is
[00:05:50] present here. These
[00:05:54] efforts reflect a simple but a fundamental
[00:05:57] belief that we must not wait for children to
[00:06:00] suffer before we act. We must build systems
[00:06:04] that prevent harm, protect their rights and safeguard their
[00:06:08] futures. Recently, I moved
[00:06:11] resolution. in the Punjab Assembly calling for effective
[00:06:15] safeguards on social media access for children under
[00:06:18] 16, including a parental consent and
[00:06:22] reliable age verification. I am proud that the Punjab
[00:06:26] assembly passed this resolution unanimously on 1st
[00:06:30] September 2026 with the support the
[00:06:34] speaker the Punjab Assembly Malik Ahmed Khan and
[00:06:37] all my fellow colleagues and
[00:06:39] parliamentarians.
[00:06:44] but let me be clear, resolution is just beginning,
[00:06:48] not the destination. We must now translate
[00:06:52] this commitment into practical, enforceable and
[00:06:55] coordinated action, and that is why we've invited all
[00:06:59] relevant stakeholders today at this important
[00:07:02] dialogue. His excellency, the Australian High
[00:07:05] Commissioner, is specially welcome, as we learn from
[00:07:09] international experiences and explore how effective
[00:07:13] safeguards can be adapted to Pakistan's
[00:07:16] own legal, social and digital
[00:07:19] realities. Australia has very effectively
[00:07:23] implemented this regulation on social
[00:07:26] media for children in Australia, so it's a great
[00:07:30] opportunity for us to learn from their
[00:07:33] experience. Our intended outcome
[00:07:37] today from this dialogue would be the Islamabad
[00:07:40] recommendations. a political road
[00:07:44] map, bringing together proposals on
[00:07:47] legislation, age assurance, safer
[00:07:50] platforms, reporting and response, data
[00:07:54] protection, and very importantly, the federal
[00:07:58] provincial coordination, and only then can we move forward in
[00:08:02] the right direction. I would like to now conclude with
[00:08:06] one simple thought: children should not have to choose
[00:08:10] between participating in the... digital world
[00:08:14] and also being safe in it. It should not be an option for
[00:08:18] them. Let us work together to ensure that the
[00:08:21] digital future of Pakistan's children is not only
[00:08:25] connected, but it's also protected. Thank you
[00:08:29] all for joining me here today. Pakistan,
[00:08:31] Zindabad.
[00:08:36] Glad to have Australia's high commissioner to Pakistan with us. Please welcome
[00:08:40] his excellency Timathi Kane. Thank you, assalam
[00:08:43] alaikum, thank you very much for
[00:08:47] this invitation to be with you today, uh, the history
[00:08:51] of it really stemmed from my, from madam
[00:08:55] chairperson's uh visit to Australia to attend
[00:08:59] a conference on child protection, child
[00:09:02] welfare, and to go to Australia, as most folks
[00:09:06] know, you need a visa, and of course we were
[00:09:09] delighted to help facilitate that visa. and
[00:09:13] afterwards I had the pleasure of meeting madam
[00:09:16] chairperson uh to say hello to introduce
[00:09:19] ourselves and she invited me to come and have
[00:09:23] look at one the centers the child
[00:09:26] protection and welfare Bureau of
[00:09:28] Punjab and the only way we could
[00:09:32] make it work was to go and see the center in
[00:09:35] fiselabad and I have to
[00:09:39] tell you it was one the most impressive.
[00:09:42] things i have done in your country and i have
[00:09:46] been here year,
[00:09:50] madame chairperson, i
[00:09:53] think is also one the most dynamic and
[00:09:56] impressive pakistanis that i have met in this
[00:10:00] country. i encourage all of you,
[00:10:04] if you haven't to go and have look at one the
[00:10:07] centers. the immediate thing that
[00:10:11] strikes you. is despite the trauma that these
[00:10:15] children have so often experienced, they
[00:10:19] are happy, they are healthy, they are
[00:10:23] well cared for and you can see it in the
[00:10:26] relationship they have with their teachers and their
[00:10:29] carers, they are confident, and
[00:10:33] I can tell you I have not seen that anywhere
[00:10:37] else in the world, and I've been
[00:10:39] around, so madam
[00:10:41] chairperson, you do
[00:10:45] an outstanding job, and I'm quite
[00:10:48] confident that this would not have happened
[00:10:52] without you. Shukriya.
[00:10:58] so with that, thank you very much again for
[00:11:02] the invitation, honorable speaker for the Punjab Assembly, Mr.
[00:11:06] Malik Muhammad Ahmed Khan, whom I've also had the pleasure
[00:11:10] of meeting in Lahore. It's
[00:11:14] a great honor for me to join you
[00:11:17] today. Ministers excellencies, ladies
[00:11:21] and gentlemen, protecting children.
[00:11:26] online is a challenge, no country can address
[00:11:29] alone, so I'm therefore
[00:11:32] pleased to share Australia's
[00:11:35] experience as we work to make digital
[00:11:39] spaces safer for all
[00:11:42] children. The need to protect
[00:11:45] children has changed our digital
[00:11:48] culture and put the owners on social
[00:11:52] media platforms to ensure... online
[00:11:55] spaces are safer for
[00:11:58] children. Australia is
[00:12:02] and always has been, committed to the
[00:12:06] protection of children and children's
[00:12:09] rights. As our technological
[00:12:12] landscape rapidly evolves, protecting
[00:12:15] children online is more important than
[00:12:19] ever. As you are all aware, the
[00:12:23] challenges we face. are clear:
[00:12:27] research shows that social media can expose
[00:12:31] young users to pressure and
[00:12:34] risks, such as endless content
[00:12:37] feeds, new AI driven
[00:12:41] engagement and algorithms
[00:12:45] that amplify harmful or manipulative
[00:12:48] content. over time these
[00:12:52] features can lead to problematic use.
[00:12:56] social isolation, addiction and
[00:12:59] poor mental and physical health. in
[00:13:03] response, australia is leading the world in digital
[00:13:07] safety approaches, starting with the implementation
[00:13:11] of social media age restrictions in December
[00:13:14] 2025, to prevent online
[00:13:17] harm to children under 16 years of
[00:13:21] age. the aim the social media.
[00:13:56] This legislation is not a ban, it
[00:14:00] is delay to having a social media
[00:14:03] account to young people more
[00:14:07] time to develop as well as build their digital
[00:14:11] literacy, critical thinking skills and
[00:14:15] greater resilience to online
[00:14:17] harm. Under the changes,
[00:14:21] age restricted social media platforms must take...
[00:14:25] reasonable steps to prevent Australians under
[00:14:29] 16 years of age from creating or
[00:14:32] keeping an account on their
[00:14:35] platforms. The duty of care
[00:14:38] falls on tech companies, not on
[00:14:42] individuals and goes beyond social media
[00:14:45] to ensure children are protected from
[00:14:49] harmful content and features, including on
[00:14:53] chatbots and gaming. platforms, apps
[00:14:56] and messaging platforms. these
[00:15:00] measures are not about banning children from online
[00:15:03] spaces. they are about
[00:15:05] upholding
[00:15:08] approach to the best interests the
[00:15:12] child. the ownus, as i say,
[00:15:16] is on the social media platform to uphold and
[00:15:19] respect these rights.
[00:15:23] importantly,
[00:15:24] there are.
[00:15:24] penalties placed on children
[00:15:28] or parents, only the social
[00:15:31] media platforms who fail
[00:15:34] implement restrictions.
[00:15:38] There are plenty of lessons to learn from
[00:15:40] the development of Australia's framework, including the
[00:15:44] publication of transparent guidelines, an
[00:15:48] open commitment to upholding child rights
[00:15:51] and broad consultation with relevant
[00:15:54] stakeholders, including children
[00:15:58] themselves. Australia's
[00:16:01] national online safety regulator, the
[00:16:04] e-safety commission,
[00:17:07] and the UNCRC General Comment number
[00:17:11] 25 on children's rights in the digital
[00:17:15] environment. It is vitally important that
[00:17:19] legislation aimed at protecting children in
[00:17:23] digital spaces appropriately considers the
[00:17:26] impact on child's rights and
[00:17:30] freedom of expression. Additionally,
[00:17:34] the e-safety commission consulted a wid
[00:17:37] range of children under 16,
[00:17:41] during and after the legislation was
[00:17:44] passed, to hear directly how they
[00:17:48] had been impacted and to provide
[00:17:51] guidance. the commission met with over
[00:17:54] 345 individuals and
[00:17:57] 160 different civil society and other
[00:18:01] stakeholder organisations.
[00:18:04] it is important to restate. that the social
[00:18:08] media minimum age cannot operate a
[00:18:12] vacuum, it must be accompanied
[00:18:16] by a broader rights-based online
[00:18:20] safety framework in order to be truly
[00:18:23] effective in protecting children from digital
[00:18:27] harm. the discussion before you
[00:18:30] today is complex, but it is also
[00:18:34] extremely important.
[00:19:08] and children themselves are part the
[00:19:11] process, children deserve a
[00:19:15] future which balances their right to
[00:19:18] learn and connect with their right to be
[00:19:22] safe from online. i wish you
[00:19:25] well in your important work
[00:19:29] and for this honor today. thank you very
[00:19:32] much.
[00:19:38] I would like to welcome our one of our chief
[00:19:42] guest mohammed khan saab speaker the Punjab
[00:19:46] assembly. Thank you
[00:19:47] sir.
[00:19:52] Bismillahirrahmanirrahim,
[00:19:56] his excellency, the high commissioner for
[00:19:59] Australia, Timothy Kain, Mr.
[00:20:03] Abdul Khalik Sheikh, secretary human rights.
[00:20:37] available
[00:20:40] and then she sent a
[00:20:43] letter in which she gave the
[00:20:47] details that what she actually plans to do.
[00:20:51] At first, I never had a glimpse of what this conference
[00:20:54] would be, and that letter actually entailed the whole
[00:20:58] story that she is moving towards that
[00:21:02] direction which have been seriously thinking from ages
[00:21:05] now, and things are happening so fast that we are not
[00:21:08] even matching the pace that how to
[00:21:12] tackle this problem,
[00:21:13] it is happening at such rapid
[00:21:16] force and the... idea
[00:21:20] which struck me was that the resolution
[00:21:24] when Sarah brought it in the assembly, we were
[00:21:28] you know as very divided house, the political situation in the country you all
[00:21:31] know, there's nothing to hide about, it's the
[00:21:35] cleavage is so deepen that we don't agree, we don't even agree to
[00:21:39] disagree, so we don't even talk, it's a situation which
[00:21:42] is not very good, we are very concerned with
[00:21:46] it, but somehow this thing..."
[00:21:50] When Sara brought this resolution in the Punjab assembly,
[00:21:54] every single member voted for it and it was a
[00:21:57] unanimous document that resolution which we passed, we send it to the
[00:22:01] federal government and we all
[00:22:05] knew that what we are talking, we have
[00:22:09] some experience at our hands i a parent for three
[00:22:12] teenagers, I experienced
[00:22:15] that, I see it around, I see it from
[00:22:21] my constituency which is very rural part in very broken
[00:22:24] school which has no roof, i see boys and
[00:22:28] girls using these apps, those were not
[00:22:32] even rightly literate to do that, i come to
[00:22:36] very posh areas and i see it there it is happening the same
[00:22:40] way on the same pace and i just
[00:22:43] had a chance to go through a
[00:22:46] book nexus by the name of nexus by you will noah.
[00:22:51] and very interesting thesis in that, it was
[00:22:55] telling the story that we as human beings are in habit
[00:22:59] of creating such things which
[00:23:03] could be destructive for the human race. now this
[00:23:07] destruction could be seen and visualized at
[00:23:09] every single
[00:23:12] step. it is about children.
[00:23:16] we have just heard what his excellency.
[00:23:21] the australian high commissioner said and the rational
[00:23:24] behind Mr. Harry's theory was that
[00:23:28] historically we have been in habit of creating
[00:23:31] such in in Greek mythology we had certain gods
[00:23:35] for happiness and for wars in later times we
[00:23:39] made some avatars and we just kept on looking towards
[00:23:43] them and in recent times he gave the Narzi Germany's example
[00:23:46] that how this machinery can take away the human. and millions
[00:23:50] of people being instincted in in matter of days,
[00:23:54] that's that's the story which he told, and I was
[00:23:58] literally taken aback when I saw the news coming
[00:24:02] from United States that one the
[00:24:05] artificial scientist give an
[00:24:09] idea that this has ability to destroy the human
[00:24:12] race its own, so we need to
[00:24:16] sit and look into the problem more seriously.
[00:24:20] the governments needs to sit, the ia companies and the
[00:24:24] companies, those who are creating these platforms, they need to
[00:24:27] sit, is the regulation alone or few
[00:24:31] boundary lines to be created, and very good example was
[00:24:34] recently given an article again written
[00:24:38] by an American Dr. Kane,
[00:24:42] it was for this example being
[00:24:46] codified for one the US jurisdiction case.
[00:24:50] the hustler magazine case and this ingress
[00:24:54] of what we find it digitally wasn't
[00:24:57] that there on the paper first, so this is this was an interesting article
[00:25:01] which had to go through and i found one rational
[00:25:05] in that and that
[00:25:09] was
[00:25:09] that certain limitations provided as the australian
[00:25:13] jurisdiction has recently done, what UK has
[00:25:17] done
[00:25:17] is a step forward, it may not
[00:25:19] be the... solution to the total problem, but it is a step
[00:25:23] forward, we in Pakistan have even greater
[00:25:27] challenge, the countries which
[00:25:31] have passed these laws for regulating and controlling is
[00:25:34] UK, is Australia, is Spain, I believe,
[00:25:38] they have done it, their literacy
[00:25:41] rate is about 100%
[00:25:45] or any case, if there could be, unless I am not aware of that, but it is
[00:25:49] 100%. literacy rate, so the people and the
[00:25:52] recipients of those regulations are actually aware
[00:25:56] of what they are being regulated for, and the challenge we
[00:26:00] have in Pakistan is humongous. It is
[00:26:04] probably inconceivable and interiority the
[00:26:07] matter tells us very clearly that this thing
[00:26:11] is a challenge not just for us, it is a
[00:26:15] challenge globally, it this thing has no
[00:26:19] limits, no boundaries, so learning from each other's
[00:26:22] experiences
