Aid delivery during an ongoing conflict is always dangerous.

Without safe access, unarmed humanitarian workers struggle to reach children and their families.

Yet @UNICEF's unwavering commitment is to stay and deliver.

Children need action.

Violence against women and girls is preventable. Yet, 1 in 3 women worldwide will experience violence in her lifetime.

At an event hosted by the League of Arab States and UN Women to launch the Regional Strategic Framework to End Violence Against Women and Girls, @WHO joined  the @arableague_gs, @UNDPArabic, @UNFPA, @UNICEF,  @UN_Women and the Spotlight secretariat to introduce the Arab States Spotlight Initiative 2.0.

Through this strong partnership and shared commitment, we can accelerate action, strengthen protection, and create safer, more equitable futures for women and girls across the region.

Yesterday, African leaders came together to shape a practical agenda for financing #ChildProtection systems.

The message was clear: protecting children requires sustainable public investments, stronger systems and African leadership.

This conversation is only the beginning.

#ChildLabour is both a cause and a consequence of vulnerability. To end it, we must invest in social protection, education, and child protection systems.

Every child deserves the chance to learn, play and thrive.

The war in Lebanon has upended daily life for children like Nour, 14, and Ali, 5, and hundreds of thousands of others.

Homes, schools, hospitals, and water systems have been damaged or destroyed. This means no classes, no easy medical access, and no certainty.

Parties to conflict must end the use of explosive weapons in populated areas.

[UNICEF @UNICEF]

Across Syria, hidden explosive hazards pose massive threats to children like Zain, 13, who was severely injured by unexploded ordnance.

The use of explosive weapons in populated areas must end.

Find out how UNICEF is supporting children like Zain.
