A memorial that demands attention

The installation illuminated 50 lightboxes, each displaying a lock‑screen photo and the name of a child who died by suicide after experiencing online bullying and digital harm. World Health Organization Director‑General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and families affected by online harm attended the ceremony.

Framing online harm as public health

She warned that advancing technologies, including AI, can amplify risks if safeguards are not built in.
