Across the 🌎girls, adolescents & young people face violence every single day. On the final day of the Global Ministerial Conference to #EndViolenceAgainstChildren, world leaders have the opportunity & responsibility to ensure every child is protected from violence. @PlanGlobal

[Stephen GR Omollo @omollosgr]

I signed this #Sudan op-ed with my peers at @NRC_Norway @RESCUEorg @save_children @CARE @DRC_ngo. "The war in Sudan recently entered its 10-month mark... 25 million people need humanitarian assistance and 7 million children are severely undernourished" https://t.co/d2fGcaBcKp

[Lindsey Hutchison @lindseyrights]

A powerful joint op-ed on the horrific conflict in #Sudan from our @PlanGlobal CEO @omollosgr & @NRC_Egeland @SaveCEO_Intl @MichelleNunn @CharlotteSlente @DMiliband https://t.co/dPfln2l6XJ

[Stephen GR Omollo @omollosgr]

Delighted to meet the honourable @LeonelSacko, @_AfricanUnion Commissioner for Agriculture, Rural Development, Blue Economy and Sustainable Environment. Agreed on critical importance of educating our children on the environment and climate change. #ClimateEducation

[Stephen GR Omollo @omollosgr]

We in @PlanGlobal have come to #GlobalRefugeeForum and made the clear case that refugee girls cannot be an afterthought. They are the innocent victims of conflict, climate change and political instability; and need specific protections based on their age, gender and diversity.

[Åsa Åberg @asaaberg]

As @PlanGlobal, we are deeply concerned with repeated diplomatic failure that continue to result in loss of thousands of children's lives in Gaza. #ceasefire

[Plan International @PlanGlobal]

After 2 months of intense conflict #UNSC has again failed to adopt a resolution that called for immediate humanitarian #Ceasefire in #Gaza. We're deeply concerned about repeated diplomatic failures that result in loss of thousands of children's lives.

Still Amelie here, I have just been watching the commitments being made for the Global Forum for Adolescents. I was so impressed by the commitments being made by partners and governments across the world #1point8

[Stephen GR Omollo @omollosgr]

Happy #IDG2023 to everyone in @PlanGlobal , our partners, and all the wonderful girls and young people who bring passion, ideas and energy to everything we do. We stand with you in fighting for your rights!

[Stephen GR Omollo @omollosgr]

🌍 Taking over for a day! I'm @baraka_damien, stepping into the shoes of Plan Global's CEO. Thrilled to share my passion for championing youth engagement into meaningful participation and leadership in humanitarian action and international development.

[Åsa Åberg @asaaberg]

What a powerful presence and message by @Faridahally2 at the opening plenary of #WD2023! Big up also to the entire @PlanGlobal delegation on site in Kigali and to @WomenDeliver for inviting Farida to the plenary stage to address decision-makers and power holders.

[Stephen GR Omollo @omollosgr]

I'm so happy that i ceded my power as CEO of Plan International to the talented Farida from Kenya. She ended with a clear call to properly fund education for girls in crisis settings. She has a powerful voice which must be listened to. #WD2023

[Stephen GR Omollo @omollosgr]

Delighted to see such a strong @planglobal presence with a powerful youth delegation taking their messages to decision makers. Good luck to you all. #WD2023

[Åsa Åberg @asaaberg]

Critical conference for action on the #HornOfAfrica hunger crisis. @PlanGlobal is at UN HQ to urge donors to fund the response needs fully to address this devastating crisis. @lindseyrights @unnikru

[Stephen GR Omollo @omollosgr]

Today I and my fellow #SheDecides champions co-signed an article in @AJEnglish on the critical importance of comprehensive sexuality education, supporting young people in making healthy choices, and advancing gender equality across the world. https://t.co/NnLUoPXGjn

[Åsa Åberg @asaaberg]

Thank you @susannelegena and @PlanAustralia for sharing the realities on the ground in Sudan and the need for children to be protected and sustained access to education.

[Plan International Australia @PlanAustralia]

🌍222 million children globally are at risk of missing out on an education because of armed conflicts – such as the one in Sudan – displacement and climate disasters, @susannelegena told @BreakfastNews today, calling on the Gov to commit more funding for education in emergencies.

Pwerful presentation by Hiqmat on behalf of girls around the world at #CSW2023 @UN on #girlsrights together with @PlanGlobal on behalf of @omollosgr

[Stephen GR Omollo @omollosgr]

Today I delivered the Oral Statement @UN #CSW67 & it was an honour to represent girls all over the world. It is not every day a girl like me has this opportunity, so I made sure to make it on behalf of all of us girls advocating for our rights.

Carolina wants to use her education to become a journalist.

Ahead of #WomensDay, let's transform education systems so that girls like Carolina can follow their dreams and take charge of their futures.

Leaders must increase #education budgets in countries with significant gender inequalities. Our research shows education budgets have stagnated or declined at a time where critical investments are needed, particularly in crisis-affected contexts.
