We will keep you safe. We will help you learn. We will uphold your right to speak and be heard. 36 years ago, world leaders made this promise to children through the most widely ratified human rights treaty in history, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. This #WorldChildrensDay, we’re calling on world leaders to fulfil their promise and protect the rights of every child, everywhere. https://lnkd.in/grW-TePH

Harnessing nature to tackle climate change. Local communities are building ponds and terraces with the help of UNICEF and partners in Timor-Leste.

Fourteen-year-old Anton’s life is in his neighbourhood in Kyiv, Ukraine. His home, school, football field. One night in September this year, a drone strike hit a nine-storey residential building nearby, changing his life overnight. “Two of my friends live in the building that was hit. They’re okay — I came straight away to look for them, and I’m very glad they’re safe. But others were hurt here — children,” he shares. Explosive weapons are destroying children’s lives and childhoods. Join us in calling on governments to stop using explosive weapons in populated areas. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gU2CvTUt
