1. Digital Access & Participation
2. Digital Health & Well-Being
3. Infrastructure & Capacity
4. Online Safety & Protection
5. Privacy & Data Protection
6. Violence & Exploitation Online

Peru’s Concluding Observations show that Infrastructure & Capacity is the dominant concern, highlighting persistent structural weaknesses that limit safe and equitable digital access for children. Online Safety & Protection, Privacy & Data Protection, and Violence & Exploitation Online also emerge as notable areas of attention, reflecting gaps in safeguarding systems, data governance, and protection from digital harms. In contrast, Digital Access & Participation receives comparatively little emphasis, suggesting fewer explicit issues raised about inclusion or children’s digital opportunities. Digital Health & Well-Being is not mentioned at all, indicating that related risks, such as excessive screen time or online mental-health impacts, were not identified as priorities in Peru’s assessment.

1. Digitalized systems
2. Cybercrime and cybersecurity laws
3. Training of professionals on online offences

The data shows that digitalized systems represent the most prominent area of concern, receiving the highest combined urgency score and indicating systemic challenges in national digital infrastructure or service delivery. Cybercrime and cybersecurity laws also appear significant, suggesting ongoing risks related to online offences, weak enforcement, or gaps in legal protections. Training of professionals receives moderate attention, pointing to the need for capacity building among law enforcement, educators, or child-protection actors in the digital sphere. Together, these patterns reflect a country context where strengthening systems, laws, and professional competencies is essential to improving children’s digital safety and rights.

1. Awareness campaigns on safe internet use
2. Complaint & Reporting mechanisms
3. Safeguarding policies and accountability in digital media

Safeguarding policies and accountability in digital media receive the highest urgency score, indicating that structural protections for children online are a central concern and may require significant strengthening. Awareness campaigns on safe internet use show a lower urgency score, suggesting that while some initiatives exist, they are not yet sufficient to address children’s needs or emerging risks. Complaint and reporting mechanisms score zero, highlighting a notable gap in accessible, child-friendly pathways for reporting online harm. Overall, the pattern shows a system that prioritises policy frameworks but lacks adequate mechanisms and proactive outreach to fully protect children in digital spaces.
