UNICEF is deeply concerned about a recent decree issued by Afghanistan’s de facto authorities.

Any law that contains provisions that appear to permit child marriage or interpret a girl's silence as consent is unacceptable.

In 📍Njombe, work and childcare share space. @UNICEFTanzania and @CEOrtTZ visited a market-based ECD centre supporting working parents. Children learn, play, and are cared for safely during the day. A simple way to bring childcare closer to working parents.

Just what the doctor ordered: Brazil’s drive to ditch UPFs from hospital menus
Following the successful reduction of ultra-processed foods in schools, scientists and politicians hope to improve patient health with locally grown and freshly prepared meals👏

Children in Sudan are trapped in a crisis of violence, hunger & disease.

Children suffering from severe acute malnutrition arrive at overstretched facilities too weak to cry.

Unicef is on the ground responding. But more action is needed to save lives.👇 https://t.co/B5CvYqOyHX
