(1/2) All eyes must remain on #Sudan. Reports of systemic mass killings of civilians, many of them children, girls and women are horrific. The people in El Fasher have been under siege for 500 days, cut off from basic needs.

(2/2) While millions across #Sudan face unimaginable hardships, these conversations reminded me why centering girls' voices in humanitarian response is not optional. Sudan's crisis demands our attention and action. The future these young women envision deserves nothing less.

(1/2) During my visit to Kassala with Plan International Sudan, I sat with young women and girls and asked them their priority, what they wanted most once stability returns, and their answer was: "تعليم" (ta'lim) – education. #Eduction #Humanitarian

For millions of children in conflict-affected areas like Sudan, returning to the classroom is a distant hope. Ongoing conflict has strained the education system, denying children access to learning and the chance to write their futures.

In #Sudan, civilians are dying as famine spread across Northern Darfur.
The crisis is worsening. Our teams are working to contain a Cholera outbreak in addition to providing aid - with limited access due to security concerns.
Full humanitarian access is needed now.

Every year, 12 million girls marry before 18, robbing them of their rights - especially those in poverty or crisis. Lucy is now changing the narrative in her Zambian community, after learning about these risks at a @planglobal.bsky.social programme for young people. #EndChildMarriage

Sexual violence is one of the darkest consequences of war. In 2024, the @un.org reported a 25% rise in cases across conflict zones. 92% of survivors are women and girls. This violence is preventable, and it must end. Survivors need justice.
