Refugee children are children first.
Every child, no matter where they come from, has the right to seek safety, care and the support they need to survive and thrive.
This #WorldRefugeeDay, and every day, UNICEF will continue its work to protect refugee children everywhere.
Today, participants of the UNECE Regional #SDG Forum will discuss the learning crisis exacerbated by #COVID19 and the role of education in promoting inclusion, equity and social cohesion at the roundtable on #SDG4 organized by @UNICEF & @UNESCO.

Nastya, 16, from eastern Ukraine walks through her old school, which closed in 2014 due to risk of attacks and hasn't re-opened since.
@UNICEF_UA is working with partners on the ground to safeguard education for vulnerable children — but ultimately, lasting peace is needed.
Masha, 9 y.o. collects tree branches from a yard in сonflict-affected community in eastern #Ukraine. “This is enough to burn the stove. It will be possible to heat water, wash or cook food” UNICEF works hard to deliver life-saving support to #UkraineChildren who need it the most
#Schools & kindergartens are #NotATarget and should be a safe place for #UkraineChildren to learn and grow. More than 750 schools damaged since the beginning of the conflict on both sides of contact line.

As #Omicron continues to spread, schools in several countries in Europe and Central Asia remain fully or partially closed.
We are asking governments to keep schools open and prioritize teachers and school personnel in vaccination plans.
Sonia, 14 y.o. remembers that there was a #winter month when she had only 1 school day. Her family spent 4 months in the basement, hiding from shelling. At that time, #school was damaged by crossfire.
Ensuring unimpeded access to #education is UNICEF commitment #ForEveryChild
Poverty robs children of the things they need most for survival and development, including education.
This #EducationDay, let's remember that social protection programmes reduce child poverty and improve access to education.
For Vika, a first-grader from eastern #Ukraine, #school means not only gaining #education but also symbolizes safety. Shooting can be heard in the distance while she is walking to school. But she remains calm. This is the only life she has ever known.
