Today we mark #WorldHumanitarianDayDay: a time to honour humanitarian workers and to stand with people affected by crises around the world.

Let's make the right headlines. Demand protection of aid workers.

Most humanitarian personnel affected by violence are national staff working in the places where they live.

#ACTFORHUMANITY now!

🚨 Another grim record for humanitarians.

More than 1,100 aid workers were killed, wounded, kidnapped, detained or arrested in 2025.

Breaking the rules of war must have real consequences.

Those responsible must be held accountable.

Attacks on humanitarian personnel have consequences far beyond the individuals directly affected.

#ACTFORHUMANITY now!

Aid workers face grave risks every day to reach people in need.

They are attacked, threatened, detained and obstructed. Aid trucks and supplies are destroyed or looted.

When aid is blocked, civilians pay the price.

Protect aid workers and humanitarian supplies. #ActForHumanity

📚 On International Youth Day, #UNHumanRights highlights #education as a fundamental human right and a powerful tool for empowering young people to claim their rights and shape their future.

Investing in youth education is investing in informed, empowered and active citizens.

🗣️ This #InternationalYouthDay, let young voices be heard.

Freedom of expression is a fundamental human right. Art. 19 of the #UDHR affirms every individual's right to hold opinions without interference, and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas.
