Honoured to contribute as a panelist at the British Council's dialogue on the #SchoolSafeguarding Framework for Punjab.
Policies matter, but implementation matters more. Safe schools require trained teachers, child-friendly reporting mechanisms, institutional accountability, and meaningful child participation.

💜 Let's Break the Stigma
This International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict (19 June), we're separating myth from fact.
Sexual violence in conflict is one of the world's most underreported crimes — silenced by stigma, fear, and shame. Swipe through ➡️ to learn the truth:
❌ It only happens to women → ✅ It affects everyone

❌ Stay silent for honor → ✅ Shame belongs to the perpetrator

❌ Delay means it didn't happen → ✅ Fear and trauma cause delay

❌ It's unavoidable in war → ✅ It's a preventable war crime

❌ Survivors can just move on → ✅ The impact lasts generations
Stigma and silence only protect perpetrators. Let's choose truth, support, and justice.

شادی کا رشتہ طے کرنے سے پہلے، بالخصوص قریبی رشتہ داروں میں شادی سے قبل، لڑکے اور لڑکی کے طبی ٹیسٹ ضرور کروائیں تاکہ آنے والی نسلیں تھیلیسیمیا، معذوری اور دیگر موروثی بیماریوں سے محفوظ رہ سکیں۔

"What has made our partnership with NCRC so impactful is a shared commitment to putting children at the centre of policy, evidence, and action."

In this special message, Pernille Ironside, Representative of UNICEF Pakistan, reflects on UNICEF's collaboration with the National Commission on the Rights of Child (NCRC) and the progress achieved together for children across Pakistan.

From strengthening evidence through the State of Children in Pakistan reports, to advancing action on child marriage, children on the move, child participation, and child protection, this partnership continues to support a future where every child is protected, heard, and given the opportunity to thrive. @NCRC_Pakistan @UNICEF_Pakistan

#Childmarriage steals everything — education, health, and the simple joy of growing up. #Punjab said: not on our watch. Proud of every voice that fought to make this happen. The children of today will build the Punjab of tomorrow. 💪
