Three years into the Sudan conflict, girls & women are paying the highest price.
🔹 12m people are at risk of gender‑based violence.
🔹 14m children – mostly girls – are out of school.
🔹 21m+ face acute food insecurity.
We cannot turn away.

This is Meshack Machar, an M & E officer and Diko Janet, the Chairperson of the Youth Advisory Panel at Plan International South Sudan. Listen to their message of commitment to ending child marriage. #WeObject to child marriage. #WeObject#EndChildMarriage#IWD2026#International
Globally, 12 million girls are married before their 18th birthday each year – that’s one girl every 3 seconds. No girl should ever have to marry as a child.
This is why, for International Women’s Day, we’re saying #WeObject to child marriage and putting girls first, everywhere.
In partneship with the Government of Canada, Plan South Sudan established CAFS hosting hundreds of Children in Upper Nile state.
We appeal to all actors and stakeholders to prioritise protecting children and adolescents from risks that might hinder their dreams.

In a crisis, girls face risks such as early marriage and pregnancy.
Through Child and Adolescent-friendly spaces (CAFS) in host communities, girls like Nyasijin 14 (centre), have a safe space and access psychosocial support mitigating the impact of conflict on their well-being.
We are deeply alarmed by escalating conflict in Iran & the Middle East. Reported attacks on schools & the killing of children are devastating. Children must never be targets. We join the UN in calling for immediate ceasefire & full protection of civilians. https://t.co/r3JjGXsuTD
