Spent time with Child Protection Committees this week, focusing on how we can make schools safer for children. Honest conversations grounded in real experiences reminded us that safe learning goes beyond classrooms, it takes strong systems and shared responsibility. 🩵

[Rohannie B Datumanong @RohDatumanong]

And there is still so much more to achieve in the coming year! InshaAllah!

The story of Belbita, along with the efforts of the youth network members, continues to inspire our work in advocating for and strengthening the birth registration system and services in BARMM and Sulu.

For BRAVE advocates, birth registration means recognition, protection & hope. 🌊💙 In BARMM, they work to ensure every Sama-Bajau child is registered & counted—building peace through inclusion.

At 13, Samira should’ve been in school, not surviving abuse. At 14, she became a mother. Thanks to UNICEF and @EUinthePH training, Aisha—a Marawi social worker—was equipped to help Samira heal and rebuild her life. https://t.co/ir9eKeywLN

It is not only important to know what to do in cases of violence, it is vital to prevent violence from breaking out in the first place! VAC in schools impacts attendance, contributes to lower academic results & leads to higher dropout rates.
