Abril Perazzini is an Argentine youth activist and advocate for children's and young people's digital rights. She focuses on the relationship between education and digital transformation, youth participation in public policy, and the impact of emerging technologies on children and adolescents.[1]
Perazzini was a UNICEF Innocenti Youth Foresight Fellow in 2023–2024 and was appointed a UNICEF Youth Advocate for Digital Rights in 2024. She has participated in international forums including the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva and the United Nations Summit of the Future Action Days in New York.[2]
Early life and education
Perazzini is from Argentina and studied political science.[1]
She became involved in youth participation and public-policy discussions while still a teenager. In 2022, at the age of 17, she participated in UNICEF Argentina's Plan A initiative, which brought adolescents together to discuss issues affecting their generation and make proposals for public policy.[3]
During the initiative, Perazzini emphasized the importance of young people's participation in policy-making and argued that adolescents should have opportunities to contribute directly to policies affecting their lives.[3]
Activism
Youth participation
Perazzini has advocated for greater participation of young people in public decision-making. She has participated in initiatives organized by UNICEF Argentina concerning youth policy, education and the future of children and adolescents.[3]
In 2023, she contributed to discussions organized by UNICEF and the Center for the Implementation of Public Policies Promoting Equity and Growth (CIPPEC) concerning ten years of youth voting in Argentina. The organizations acknowledged Perazzini among young people who contributed to discussions on youth political participation.[4]
Digital rights
Perazzini's advocacy subsequently developed a particular focus on children's digital rights. She has argued for equal and safe access to digital technologies and greater consideration of children's rights when governments and technology developers make decisions about emerging technologies.[2]
She leads the digital rights commission of the youth group of Amnesty International Argentina and is a member of the Digital Rights Champions group of Amnesty International's Rights Click programme.[2]
In 2024, UNICEF Argentina appointed Perazzini as a Youth Advocate for Digital Rights. The appointment made her one of more than 60 youth advocates and leaders working with UNICEF internationally on issues affecting children and young people.[2]
Digital safety and cyberbullying
Perazzini has spoken publicly about online safety and cyberbullying. UNESCO has featured her advocacy in its International Day against Violence and Bullying at School materials, identifying her as a UNICEF Youth Advocate working to advance digital rights.[5]
UNESCO has also highlighted Perazzini's personal experience with cyberbullying and her work to encourage safer digital environments for students.[5]
UNICEF Youth Foresight Fellowship
Perazzini was selected as a UNICEF Innocenti Youth Foresight Fellow for 2023–2024. The fellowship brought together young people from different countries and trained them in foresight, project management, workshop facilitation and the analysis of global trends affecting children and young people.[6]
As part of the fellowship, she led an Argentine national foresight project examining possible futures for children's and young people's digital experiences. The project considered emerging technologies, young people's expectations, potential risks and opportunities, and recommendations for decision-makers.[7]
The project was included in UNICEF Innocenti's 2024 Young Visionaries report. Perazzini's contribution, titled "The Threat of AI Digital Identities for Children and Youth", examined the potential effects of artificial intelligence and emerging technologies on children's privacy, access to information and education.[8]
Her research involved consultations with young people in Argentina and explored possible positive and negative scenarios involving artificial intelligence, digital education and the digital divide.[8]
International activities
Perazzini has participated in international policy and human-rights events. UNICEF Argentina reported that she attended the 52nd session of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva and the Action Days associated with the 2024 United Nations Summit of the Future in New York.[2]
She has also participated in international discussions on children's digital rights, education and emerging technologies.[6]
In 2024, she contributed to UNICEF's work on children's digital futures and continued advocating for policies intended to create safer and more equitable digital environments for children and adolescents.[2]
Later work
Perazzini became a UNICEF Innocenti senior fellow in the education and digital thematic area. UNICEF describes her as supporting other fellows and contributing to the organization's Climate Education Atlas, with a focus on how digital tools can expand climate education.[6]
She has also facilitated foresight workshops for young people in Argentina. UNICEF has credited her with facilitating workshops that helped other young people explore issues including digital violence, education and future technologies.[9]
