It is estimated that 473 million children live in a conflict area.
Sadly, these children very often face massive violations of their rights.
Please join us this coming Friday at 2 PM at the Palais des Nations to discuss how children in armed conflict could be better protected

Funding cuts threaten education in fragile & crisis contexts, with nearly one quarter of a billion school-aged children needing support.
In crises, absence of education leaves children & youth vulnerable to violence and exploitation.

We were pleased to partner with @1612Watchlist & @columbiaSIPA in their annual workshop on children and armed conflict.
2024 was an “annus horribilis” for children. Strengthened collaboration between member states, UN and civil society is a must to protect children in conflict.
