Welcome to the 2025 edition of CTRL+Speak, a youth-driven magazine by Amnesty International Kenya’s Technology and Human Rights team. Think of “Ctrl” as the control key on your keyboard—holding it down unlocks new possibilities. CTRL+Speak does the same for your voice online: empowering young people to speak up, advocate for human rights, and shape a safer digital world.
This edition dives into why digital rights matter for children and youth, featuring stories, art, and bold opinions from young advocates. With one-third of the world’s children now online (UNICEF), the need for legislation, education, and protection has never been greater.
Our goal? To amplify youth voices, build capacity, and inspire leadership in the digital rights movement—because the future of technology must be defined with and by those most impacted: children, youth, and future generations.
Explore, learn, and join the movement for a just, inclusive digital space.
Key Highlights of the Magazine:
- A review of Kenya’s digital rights journey from 2024–2025
- Creative pieces like Once Upon a Screen and Mbogi Yetu
- Winning essays from the Digital Rights Essay Competition
- Stories from schools across Kenya championing human rights online
