DRN Hosts Second Meeting of Digital Rights Sub-Group under EU HRD Working Group

On February 13, Digital Rights Nepal (DRN) successfully coordinated the second meeting of the Digital Rights Sub-Group under the EU Working Group on Human Rights Defenders.
This sub-group addresses critical issues such as online freedom of expression, media freedom, disinformation, the right to information, cyberbullying, hate speech, cybersecurity for human rights defenders, and other pressing digital rights issues.
The meeting focused on recent challenges in the digital rights space, including the controversial social media bill and its potential implications. Discussions centered on content of the bill and the need for a comprehensive approach to reach out to the policymakers, including the political parties, members of the parliament, relevant committees and committee members. Participants also suggested to design interventions for a more coordinated message from the human rights community.
Additionally, the meeting highlighted future initiatives to address emerging digital challenges and explored upcoming EU HRD field activities.
