‘Advocating for and with children is an everyday responsibility.’

UNICEF @unicef.org · 29d

Around the world, education is under attack, impacting millions of children.

Attacks on schools are a grave violation against children.

On this International Day to Protect Education from Attack, join us in calling on world leaders to realize every child’s right to learn in safety.

‘Advocating for and with children is an everyday responsibility.’

The alarming increase in the use of explosive weapons in populated areas is a leading cause of child casualties in conflicts around the world.

Let’s #ProtectChildrenInConflict together. unicef.link/4fAtGiz

Killing and maiming children is a grave violation.

We must protect children and their rights in conflict.

This deadly new normal can change when we advocate for children.

For example, 88 countries around the world have committed to stop using explosive weapons in populated areas – a cause of over 70% of all incidents of killing and maiming.

Together, we can do more to protect children in conflict.

‘When Science Is Local, Silence Is Global’

“These imbalances are not merely symbolic—they determine what counts as global knowledge, which research gets visibility, and whose crises are deemed worthy of global scientific mobilization.”

When Science Is Local, Silence Is Global

In recent years, the international scientific community has mobilized swiftly to defend academic freedom when it is under threat in wealthy nations. During the Trump administration, when American c…

So great to catch up, Mariela! Looking forward to Puerto Rico - and maybe more continents in the future 😁

So happy to have shared lunch with my friend @pcampbell91.bsky.social during my short visit to Hong Kong. We joked that we have seen each other three times this semester on three separate continents: Asia, Australia and North America.

71,000 children in Gaza will need urgent treatment for acute malnutrition, according to the latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification report.

With supplies running out, it's imperative that aid be allowed in for children’s health and survival.

“With each passing day of the aid blockade, they face the growing risk of starvation, illness and death – nothing can justify this.”

Full statement from UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell on the situation for children in the Gaza Strip after two months of aid blockade: unicef.link/3EBWsS5

The aid blockade and more than 18 months of war are pushing Gaza’s children to the brink.

We reiterate our call for the aid blockade to be lifted, for the entry of commercial goods into Gaza, for the release of
the hostages, and for the protection of all children. - Catherine Russell, UNICEF Executive Director
