We are so proud to be a part of the End OSEAC Coalition — and grateful for all of the efforts that led to such a successful symposium today on Capitol Hill.

Now we need real action from Congress to #protectkidsonline.

Yesterday we were on #CapitolHill meeting w/ our Ending #OSEAC Coalition to fight online sexual abuse! We won’t stop working until legislation passes to #ProtectKidsOnline.

Go to https://t.co/VpJ3RH4Ie6 & tell Congress to pass the #STOPCSAM Act. Your voice is powerful! 📢

Putting the onus on parents to keep kids safe online takes the responsibility off tech companies that allow online abuse & exploitation to happen on their platforms. We have to hold #BigTech accountable. #OSEAC #ProtectChildrenOnline

Today is #DayOfTheGirl

So, BIC is sharing this example of how a project in Guinea can be transformative for girls by strengthening its child protection outcomes. We urge the Bank to do deliver on this project and more to better improve outcomes for children around the world.

Happy #DayofTheGirl!

Today and every day, we encourage and celebrate girls’ influence on global agendas on:
✔️Climate
✔️Education
✔️Mental wellbeing
✔️Gender-based violence
✔️Sexual and reproductive health and rights.

Girls are moving forward and we applaud them all 👏

“Be a bit of a game changer” was the call @WorldBank made for itself during the 5th Global Conference on the Elimination of Child Labor. But what does this mean in practice?

Today is Cesar Chavez day. The amazing union leader worked tirelessly to improve the lives of US farmworkers. Today, we work to improve protections for child farmworkers, allowed by US #ChildLabor law to work unlimited hours (as long as they are not missing school).

10M additional girls are at risk of child marriage due to COVID-19, threatening years of progress.

One year into the pandemic, we must reopen schools and ensure access to health and social services to reduce a girl’s risk of having her childhood stolen. #IWD2021
