Check out the "Manual for Child Protection Staff in #UN Peace Operations". I enjoyed writing this document, which includes practical guidance, tips and exercises to bolster the incredible work of CP Advisers worldwide. #peacekeeping https://t.co/9ykIN3RsgW

Why is the police not arresting these criminals? They forced their way into the Capitol and terrorized our elected officials and their staff. #whiteprivilege

[Matthew Miller @mattmiller757]

A line of people exit the Capitol building. One bloodied in the head and more came out who previously stormed the building.

Peacekeeping missions are vital contributors in protecting children from impacts of war.

Dedicated and adequately-resourced Child Protection components are crucial to implementing the missions’ child protection mandates. #WorldChildrensDay

[Belgium UN New York @BelgiumUN]

We know children suffer disproportionately more in war.
They also benefit less in #peace.

Addressing needs of conflict-affected children in peace processes isn’t just a legal/moral imperative. It’s crucial to durable peace.

Important paper putting into focus the rights of children impacted by the Islamic State -- a must-read for policy makers.

The New Humanitarian identified five aid policy trends to watch in 2020. What #policy trends are you watching in 2020?

The year 2019 has been a momentous year in the fight against sexual exploitation and abuse by #humanitarian aid workers. I’m grateful that I was able to support @UNICEF’s efforts to address SEA and strengthen #accountability. #safeguarding https://t.co/5xR0sFuox3

Binged this. It's a must-watch. Very difficult at times, but the story - based on real events - is important. And brilliant performances by the actors. I cried, I punched the air, I cried. #unbelievablenetflix

A convicted pedophile priest was sent to work for Caritas, a leading Catholic charity, in the Central African Republic. Now he is accused of having abused two other boys in CAR....We need more #accountability in the aid sector to #endsvc https://t.co/aPkmdjHsRs

“We were so in love with our connectivity that we didn’t read the terms and conditions.” Highly recommend watching the documentary “The Great Hack” on Netflix #dataprotection https://t.co/8hiOnbUezI

[Save the Children US @SavetheChildren]

These children have witnessed things most adults cannot even imagine, and that type of trauma leaves invisible wounds that may never heal. “If you have to leave reality, the body will survive, but the soul will not.” #STOPTHEWARONCHILDREN @JenPercy https://t.co/3kc6ETQCHH
