  • Earlier today, our Executive Director, Aferdita Bytyqi attended the 21st European Trend Day at the GDI Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute, where global experts explored the future of work in an AI-driven world. Among the thought-provoking discussions, Douglas Rushkoff, Professor of Media Theory and Digital Economics at City University of New York, emphasized the enduring creativity and social cohesion in an AI-driven world, urging the use of AI as a tool—rather than letting it define human potential. Also in attendance, Daniel Susskind, Professor in Economics at King’s College, London, explored a future where human labor is no longer the foundation of economic distribution, challenging traditional notions of equity in an era of automation. As AI continues to transform digital governance and health, these conversations are crucial in shaping inclusive and sustainable digital futures. 💡 What are your thoughts on AI’s role in the future of work? Join the conversation in the comments!

    More than 1 in 10 adolescents show signs of problematic social media behavior. They struggle to control their use and experience negative consequences. Yesterday, WHO/Europe's Mental Health Flagship held an expert consultation workshop to address the digital determinants of young people’s mental health. This initiative, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health of Poland, aims to develop a policy brief grounded in the latest evidence and best practices. The mental health of children and young people is influenced by a complex and evolving set of factors. While traditional determinants such as family environment and peer relationships remain significant, emerging influences like digital and social media are increasingly shaping young people's mental health outcomes. Digital platforms and social media offer valuable opportunities for learning, social connection, and self-expression, but they also introduce significant risks, including increased exposure to cyberbullying, unrealistic beauty standards, addictive design features, and harmful content. Over 40 experts from across the Region, including WHO collaborating centers, policy-makers, and young members of the Pan-European Mental Health Coalition and Youth4Health network, participated in the online event, where findings from an evidence review led by our collaborators from the Digital Transformations for Health Lab were shared and discussed. The feedback received will be crucial in refining the policy brief, which seeks to provide guidance on how to mitigate the harms associated with social media use, promote digital well-being, and empower young people and families with digital literacy skills. Stay tuned for more updates as we work together to promote the mental health of our youth in the digital age: https://bit.ly/3WQXSyM --- Cassie Redlich Ledia Lazëri Natasha Azzopardi Muscat Louise Holly Ilona Kickbusch Jason Maurer Abhilasha (Vini) Vaid

  • 🌍It's International Women's Day! This #IWD2025 calls for action "For ALL women and girls: Rights, Equality, Empowerment". At DTH-Lab we see the huge impact of the gender gap in digital access. Millions of young women worldwide remain excluded from the digital revolution—a divide that limits their ability to seek health information, access telemedicine and advocate for their well-being. 📊In a new report Building a Healthier Future through Digital Inclusion for India’s Youth, our Research Fellow, Jyoti Chaudhary, reveals how gendered digital exclusion creates deep disparities in health access. From rural communities to urban centres, the challenge is universal: Women are less likely to own mobile phones, have stable internet access or develop digital literacy—barriers that directly impact their health and future. Let’s close the gap, because when women are connected, they don’t just access healthcare; they lead, innovate and drive change for their communities. 🔗 Read the report here:https://loom.ly/BymKla4

  • 🔹 Young people must be at the forefront of #SRHR advocacy—not just as beneficiaries, but as decision-makers. Our Youth Officer, Enow A. G Stevens, joined the Africa Health Agenda International Conference (AHAIC) youth summit to spotlight the need for co-designed solutions that actively involve youth in shaping sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) policies and services. From breaking stigma to strengthening youth participation, his insights highlight the role of digital innovation in expanding access to SRHR. Read his reflections and key takeaways here👇

    Reclaiming Control: Advancing SRHR for Young People at AHAIC 2025 On Tuesday, I had the honor of speaking at the Africa Health Agenda International Conference #AHAIC2025, contributing to a powerful panel discussion on “Reclaiming Control: Let’s Talk About Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (#SRHR).” #SRHR remains a deeply stigmatized issue in many African communities, limiting access to essential services and information—especially for young people. During the session, I shared insights on two key areas: 1️⃣ Breaking the Stigma Around #SRHR Stigma is one of the biggest barriers to SRHR. To foster more supportive environments, I highlighted key approaches such as: ✅ Community-Led Dialogue: Engaging parents, faith leaders, and educators to reshape narratives. ✅ Edutainment & Digital Storytelling: Using social media, film, and digital platforms to normalize SRHR discussions. ✅ Youth-Centered, Non-Judgmental Services: Ensuring that young people can access confidential, inclusive, and stigma-free SRHR care. ✅ Policy & Legal Reforms: Advocating for laws that protect young people’s rights to comprehensive sexuality education and healthcare. 2️⃣ From Beneficiaries to Decision-Makers: Youth Leadership in SRHR Young people must be at the forefront of SRHR advocacy—not just as consumers of services but as leaders shaping policies. I emphasized: 🔥 Participation in Policy & Decision-Making Spaces – Youth must actively engage in national policy dialogues and advisory boards. 📢 Owning the Digital Narrative – Using social media and digital platforms to amplify youth voices and challenge stigma. 🤝 Co-Designing SRHR Programs – Young people should be involved in designing policies and services that directly affect them. ✊ Building & Strengthening Youth Movements – Sustainable change happens through collective advocacy and intergenerational partnerships. 🚀 SRHR for young people is also an important area of focus within the Digital Transformations for Health Lab, especially in the Digital-First Health System Consultations. We are exploring how digital innovation can transform access to SRHR and ensure young people are not just beneficiaries but active architects of their health systems. I’m grateful for this opportunity to engage with brilliant minds and passionate advocates working to advance SRHR across the continent. The future of SRHR in Africa depends on bold, informed, and empowered youth leadership. 💬 How can we work together to dismantle stigma and strengthen youth leadership in SRHR? Let’s keep the conversation going! Gaitano Ndalo Bitania Lulu Berhanu Steve Ougo #AHAIC2025 #SRHR #YouthLeadership #ReproductiveHealth #EndStigma #NothingForUsWithoutUs #DTHLab
