Laureen dropped out of school at age 15 to elope with her boyfriend.

Access to justice is a fundamental human right – we must continue to ensure that this is child-friendly to support all children in need #DAC2020 #AnAfricaFitForMe 🌍✊🏽

Children in conflict areas and those who are refugees often have this right grossly violated. A reminder that the Charter protects the rights of every child to a name and a nationality. Every child has the right to be a child.

As the first case of #COVID19 is confirmed in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, we're extremely concerned about the impact this will have in the refugee camp where social distancing is impossible.
