On #WorldChildrensDay, we echo the profound concerns raised by #UNSG António Guterres and reiterate the call for protecting and supporting #children and #youth as powerful actors of change towards a more sustainable and peaceful world.
'It is shocking that, in the 21st century, any child still goes hungry, uneducated, or without even the most basic health care.
It is a stain on humanity’s conscience when children’s lives are caught in the grinding wheels of #poverty, or upended by #disasters or violent #conflicts that are killing and maiming children'.
