About the event

What does data protection mean in a COVID world? Has our acceptance of digital surveillance changed due to the pandemic? And what are its consequences for humanitarian settings?

To mark the launch of the DigitHarium – A digital humanitarian forum, we have invited professor Joseph A. Cannataci, the UN Special Rapporteur on the right to privacy. We will discuss how data protection concerns are changing in a COVID-infested world – and what its implications are for humanitarian settings.
The discussion will be the first event of the January thematic path - COVID-19 and Digital Response.

The series

The Digital Dilemmas Dialogues are a series of one-on-one discussions about the humanitarian digital transformation, its implications and the work ahead. This 30-odd minutes chat brings together prominent experts and stakeholders from various sectors to explore the humanitarian consequences of a new type or trend in digital technologies each month, and offer reflections on what is coming next.

The Digital Dilemmas Dialogues are an initiative of the DigitHarium.
