At the High-Level Conference on Social Rights in Chisinau, I invited states to consider three pledges.
We must bridge the gap between policy and the lived experience of people.

Digitalising social welfare systems isn't just about "speed and efficiency". It is about the delivery of human rights.
I outlined 5 critical risk categories we must address to ensure technology empowers rather than marginalises.

Europe is losing the fight against poverty, I warn jointly with the UNSR Poverty Olivier de Schutter. This is a systemic failure. Europe needs a shift to social protection as an investment, not a burden. We call for the adoption of rights-based anti-poverty strategies, based on European Social Charter commitments.

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.

People with disabilities have the right to income support that ensures living in dignity, services that enable them to participate in the labour market and in society, and a work environment adapted to their needs.

RT by @EU_EESC: Social justice can only be achieved when the collective voice of civil society is at the heart of decision-making. That is our work, every day, in our Civil Society Organisations' Group.
