Every day, 244 children in Europe fall into poverty.
On the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, we’re asking: why is this still happening & what can the EU do to change it?

Child poverty isn’t inevitable — it’s a policy choice.
The EU can act by:
âś… Strengthening the Social Fund for children
âś… Fully implementing the Child Guarantee
âś… Investing in education, health & housing
Child poverty is the cost Europe can’t afford ➡️ bit.ly/Child-Poverty-2025

Five years ago, the EU made a pledge to tackle this. So why are things getting worse, not better?

🎯 Europe cannot afford to ignore child poverty. Millions of our children live in poverty. It costs us over 3% of our GDP each year.
Honoured to host at the @europarl the high-level conference on ending child poverty, together with @SaveChildrenEU & @salvaticopiiiro, launching the 2025 report.

Every day, children across Europe face barriers to a fair start in life.
Ending child poverty is possible, but it requires bold political action, coordinated effort, and society-wide commitment.

Supporting children early is not only right, it’s smart.
When children face disadvantage, societies lose talent, innovation, and economic potential investments in children pay dividends for everyone.

Children across Europe are proving their voices matter. At #HotAndHappening Week in Brussels, they campaigned, met EU leaders & brought ideas to Parliament. Now, their demands are shaping European policy. See how children are leading change across Europe.

Every skilled adult was once a child who have had the chance to learn.
As the #GlobalGatewayForum opens today, we’re joining @WorldVisionEU, Handicap International, @PlanEU, and @ChildFundEU to remind EU leaders that lasting progress begins with education.

That’s why, together with our partners, we’ve called on President @vonderleyen and the European
Commission to put inclusive, quality education at the heart of the EU’s #GlobalGateway.
Because building sustainable futures starts with investing in people, not just infrastructure

Thank you, Commissioner. The children of Gaza and the West Bank cannot wait -- they need more champions, not just in words but concrete action ⬇️

The children of #Gaza & #WestBank, like Yasmeen & Omar, are being robbed of their childhood.
At #UNGA80 Call to Action, I reaffirmed the EU stands with all children in Palestine.
Humanitarian access, protection of aid workers, ceasefire. That is how we protect these children.

As EU member states consider decisions that will shape their future, the voices of Sara & Lour, Yasmeen & Omar should echo in every chamber, outweigh every excuse, and drive action that puts children's lives and rights first.
