Read our report on how climate change and disasters are affecting young people, what they're doing about it, and what they want to see from government and schools. #FridaysForFuture #schoolstrike4climate #auspol

REPORT: Young Australians say they are learning more at school about volcanoes and earthquake than disasters relevant to them, like bushfires and floods, a major survey with @AIDR_News and our sector colleagues has found. https://t.co/rH9jriP9dv

"We must focus on the immediate health response & saving lives, but the unprecedented disruption to children’s education could result in a lost generation."

@HonJulieBishop gives some great insights into the disproportionate effect of the pandemic on women and children with @melissadoyle on @WorldVisionAus Windows to the World https://t.co/wmKSTEDbq6

COVID-19 needs a #GlobalResponse that leaves no one behind. Australia's $352m support for a vaccine is a great start: we need to distribute a vaccine everywhere so COVID-19 has nowhere to hide. Let's be a leader in the Pacific and worldwide.

[News Breakfast @BreakfastNews]

"The world's strongest health system is as strong as the weakest ... If we leave anyone behind, we've lost the fight against COVID-19."

@WorldVisionAus's Nadine Haddad says there's a reasonable fear developing countries will be left behind even after a vaccine is developed.

[WVANews @WVAnews]

Children and young people have already started mobilising themselves, using online platforms to share their experiences and support others with information and emotional support. We will combat #COVID19

Congrats @GretaThunberg on receiving the Human Act Award, and huge thanks for donating the proceeds to UNICEF!

Spare a thought for children in vulnerable countries, some of whom can only wash their hands once a week, are cut off from school and friends without technology, and are going without meals. Some sobering statistics from our #ChildrensVoices report: https://t.co/2j1Sx7nhIe.

MEDIA RELEASE: COVID -19 causes emotional distress for 91 per cent of children, but many are becoming activists in their own communities, World Vision survey finds: https://t.co/BNNFtJJ4dz

[Graham Strong | He/Him | WVA @GrahamImpact]

A continued shutdown of schools will only widen the gap between disadvantaged children and their peers. This is why World Vision Australia has made the bold call for schools to be reopened in @theheraldsun today: https://t.co/vQyl7xhi1Q
