Digitalisation should be a tool for the effective enjoyment of social rights, not a barrier.
Human rights should guide efforts to combat poverty and social protection should be seen as an investment, not a burden.

My focus will be on:
• Human-centric digitalisation: Ensuring AI and digital systems include rather than exclude, backed by essential human oversight.
• Breaking the cycle of poverty: Tackling child poverty to ensure every child has a fair start, regardless of their background.

On my way to the High-level Council of Europe Conference on Social Rights in Chisinau.

I’m looking forward to discussing how states can reconcile digital efficiency with their obligations to equality and human dignity and the need to implement human-rights centred policies to combat poverty.
