South Africa has one of the world's highest rates of violence against children and women, affecting millions across the country. To ensure children and women are protected, we cannot remain silent and must stand up for the right to safety. The #ChildGauge2025 report 📒 spotlights this issue, reiterating the critical need to adopt an integrated approach to address the needs of both women and children affected by violence, and to break the intergenerational cycle of harm.

When children’s voices are heard, communities become stronger, and policy becomes more effective. On Thursday, UNICEF South Africa witnessed and supported children at the 2025 Nelson Mandela Children’s Parliament, which focused on amplifying the voices of children in planning and budgeting processes. We're proud to support the Nelson Mandela Children’s Parliament, and our commitment is rooted in a simple but powerful belief: that investing in children’s participation is investing in South Africa’s future governance.   #ForEveryChild, a voice.
