Knowledge is the first line of defense when it comes to protecting our children online.
By staying informed, we can equip children with age-appropriate content, understanding of consent and personal boundaries, and how to recognize harmful/predatory behaviors online/offline.
Every child has the right to grow up free from violence, fear, and harm. The CRC reminds us that protection is the duty of parents, caregivers, communities and everyone at large!
Let’s build a world where childhood means safety, love, and joy.

What the Artemis II astronauts did over the last 10 days was a testament to their bravery. And the fact that they traveled farther from Earth than anyone ever has, re-entered our atmosphere at more than 24,000 mph, and splashed down safely was a testament to human ingenuity. Thanks to everyone at @NASA for making this mission possible, and for taking us along for the ride.
In Namibia, UNICEF, works closely with the Government, communities, and partners, in strengthening nutrition for children from the earliest years of life. Together we can ensure every child in Namibia has the healthy start they deserve.
ECD isn’t a concept, it’s daily practice. A child’s development is shaped by our environment, habits, and care. Breastfeeding, nurturing care, and being present matters. We choose for them, so let’s choose what helps them grow, thrive, and succeed. #ForEveryChild, the right start
As Namibia 🇳🇦 celebrates Independence, we also celebrate the rights of children to culture, identity, and nationality.
When children grow up with a sense of belonging, they carry forward the spirit of independence into the future.
Together, we can build a world where children can thrive and reach their full potential.
This #WorldChildrensDay, repeat after us: Investing in children today, secures a better future for all.
At the Regional World Children’s Day dinner, Mrs. Kaone Boko, First Lady of Botswana, urged all to stand united and move from dialogue to delivery, from speaking about rights to ensuring they are realised. It is time for action.
Every child has a voice that deserves attention. As leaders, we must amplify their ideas and protect their rights. The future is firmly in their hands.
Today Melissa Nghisheefa and I had the privilege to talk to adolescent girls, Outjo Secondary School on self efficiency, emotional intelligence, navigating peer pressure and preventing themselves from HIV and STIs. What a dynamic group of girls - willing to learn @UnicefNamibia
@TheOptimistG@UnicefNamibia@SamOcranKweku We must stand united in condemning, without hesitation, all forms of violence against children, and women. There is no excuse, no justification, and no greater urgency than to protect the dignity, safety, and lives of the most vulnerable among us.@UnicefNamibia
@TheOptimistG@UnicefNamibia@SamOcranKweku Every child deserves to grow up free from fear, harm, and injustice. It is our collective responsibility to protect them from all forms of violence, whether physical, emotional, or hidden behind silence. Childhood is a time of hope, discovery, not of pain or fear. @UnicefNamibia
Every child in Namibia deserves to grow up free from fear. We must speak out, act up, and demand justice for victims of violence. The time to act is now. #EndChildViolence
Hon. Manombe-Ncube stated “our policies & budgets are designed with a generalized view of disability. This analysis challenges that norm. It provides a detailed costing of different disability types allowing us to move beyond averages & assumptions into informed planning.”
Today, alongside, the National Federation of People with Disability in Namibia @nfpdn, Office of @VPofNamibia, @MGEPESW_Namibia with civil society & academia, validated a groundbreaking study on the direct costs of disability to families in Namibia. #CostOfInaction
UNICEF, through @UNCERF, has played a key role in enhancing these efforts to extend outreach teams’ reach to deliver integrated services more efficiently by supporting mobile outreach initiatives - ensuring that even the most isolated communities receive the care they deserve.
