A privilege to watch @JosephAtick deliver to @ID4Africa one of the best presentations on #digitalidentity I have ever seen, laying out the opportunities and, importantly the risks, of decentralized identity and technologies like #AI and facial recognition. #id4d #g2px

@binokary There are conversations you never forget. Conversations that sear your soul. These children I spoke with have gone through abuse and harm that no human should face let alone children.

[cornelius williams @cornwilliams14]

After 35 years, I am bowing out with pride. I still hear children’s voices, still recall meetings with world leaders, still remember every conversation with fellow child protection practitioners. I hope that this journey has meant as much to you as it has to me.

[cornelius williams @cornwilliams14]

To #EndChildMarriage is a global responsibility.

Expediting its progress demands targeted interventions.

[Mohamed M. M. Fall @MohamedFall]

We want to achieve universal #birthregistration by 2030. Yet 40% of Africa’s unregistered children are in the Eastern region. Urgent efforts needed to increase birth registration among the poorest children. Read latest @UNICEFData report to learn more: https://t.co/vnDN5UlhLO
