I was honored to join The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, and World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus for the unveiling of the Lost Screen Memorial at Place des Nations in Geneva ahead of the 79th World Health Assembly.
The memorial, organized by Archewell Philanthropies in partnership with the World Health Organization and The Parents’ Network, highlighted the urgent need for stronger global action to protect children and young people from online harm, cyberbullying, and unsafe digital spaces.
