🔴In the context of the 2024 EU Pact on #Migration & Asylum, children on the move continue to face serious rights violations at EU borders.

ENOC urges for robust safeguards to ensure their #rights are effectively protected in all circumstances.

It’s not great when there are higher standards expected in our prisons than in our schools.

@women4election @fiannafailparty Given this absolutely shocking statistic, maybe FF should prioritise something akin to positive discrimination in deciding what selection of independent T.D.'s they engage with, to deliver a programme for government.

@fiannafailparty have 7 women and 41 men TDs.

Women are 14.6% of their TDs.

Ten years after O'Keeffe's landmark case, many survivors of abuse in schools are still waiting for redress, writes Áine Bhreathnach (@_ihrec) in the Gazette: https://t.co/KTu0Le9biC

“Budget likely to push more elderly and people with disabilities into poverty - ESRI”

First thing on the political agenda should be “How do we stop this.”

Word of the Day is ‘fudgelling’ (18th century: pretending to be extremely busy whilst not doing very much at all.

@UNESCO_CFRC @westernsydneyu @CypscIrl It was a really interesting webinar, thankyou!

[Emma Byrne @byrnemac]

We also agreed that the tendency by the establishment parties to demonise young people in under-resourced communities is deeply irritating! Really hoping for positive change in #DubW

[Emma Byrne @byrnemac]

Just had a lovely chat with @SocDems Ellen Murphy about the need for #MoreMná in #DubW as we have had none at all since the last election!

🌍✨ Today we celebrate #WorldChildrensDay! Every 20 November we commemorate the day in which the Declaration of the Rights of the Child and Convention on the Rights of the Child were adopted in 1959 and 1989, respectively.

Happy World Children's Day!🌍

This year's theme is 'Listen to the Future'. At CIH, we believe play is a powerful tool in giving children a voice and the confidence to have their say. We will continue to create a space for children in hospitals to express themselves through play!

🌍On this #WorldChildrensDay, we call for special attention to children without parental care!

We strongly reaffirm our commitment to advance their rights and hold states accountable for fulfilling their 𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

No food, no water, no medicine , no safety for besieged Palestinians in Gaza so the Ministry of Health is appealing to the world at least to send them coffins to wrap the victims in. If there’s no dignity in life, at least let there be dignity in death. Grotesque.

@MichaelgTCD Very sad to hear that news. I remember Tom Garvin as such an energetic Politics lecturer back in the day in UCD. His enthusiasm was infectious and he was always pleasant and supportive.

@kathydjourno Love this!

This is unbelieveable!!

"Daddy, what were you doing when the Gaza Genocide was being carried out?"

[UNICEF Palestine @UNICEFpalestine]

School bags in #Gaza, once filled with books and dreams, are now packed with clothes and essentials, ready to flee if there's bombardment or a sudden displacement order.
No child should go through this.

Children in Gaza need a ceasefire NOW!
