Some personal news: I’ve just started as Head of @UNICEF relations with Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Liechtenstein, Belgium and Luxembourg- based in Berlin! Looking forward to this new challenge & opportunity to join forces for children in crisis, displaced,discriminated!

‘Girls are strong, girls are powerful’ Fatima and Halima represent millions of adolescent girls facing conflict, violence and climate shocks. Children’s rights are at a cross road. We must, can do better to stop 🛑 impunity 🛑 attacks on schools 🛑 grave violations

Thank you @BelgiumDGD and @KittyvdHeijden for leading today’s strategic dialogue In today’s turbulent world for children, we need to work together even better to deliver results at scale- #ForEveryChild

Girls need collective action to protect their rights, remove the barriers holding them back and achieve their goals. With the right resources and opportunities, the potential of the world’s 620M adolescent girls is limitless. uni.cf/3XYDhYb #GirlGoals #DayoftheGirl

This year’s #WorldFoodDay is about the #RightToFood for a better life and a better future. Why it matters? Everyone should have access to enough: 🐟Diverse 🥦Nutritious 🥔Affordable 🍎Safe 🍇Sustainable Foods Because the #RightToFood is a human right of everyone, everywhere.

The next generation is vital to creating a sustainable future. Great to see @UNICEF youth delegates bringing fresh and bold ideas to the Hamburg Sustainability Conference & advocating for urgent action on the #SDGs. @BMZ_Bund @UNICEFgermany @VerenaKnaus

#Lebanon Don‘t look away- another major displacement and child rights crisis in the making Within one week, more than 1.2 million displaced, including many refugees from #Syria We need to stop this cycle of violence. Children in #Israel, #Lebanon, #Gaza need peace. NOW

Globale Probleme lassen sich nur gemeinsam lösen. Klimakrise Pandemien Flucht Kriege Nur mit unseren Partnern, auch mit direkt Betroffenen, können wir nachhaltige Lösungen finden. Dafür war auch @unicefchief hier #HSC2024 Gemeinsam mit Jugendlichen aus 6 Ländern in #Afrika

An honour to join our partners to open 1st #HSC2024. Let's remember there is no peace without development & no development without peace. If we are to confront & overcome our biggest challenges, we must build innovative alliances to deliver the #SDGs. go.undp.org/oMS

Ein wichtiger Moment für alle Akteure der humanitären Hilfe: Danke @AuswaertigesAmt für die Panel-Einladung beim Launch der neuen Strategie zur #humanitären Hilfe. @AA_stabilisiert @PMWDo @GrueneBundestag @borismijatovic @venro_eV @anica_heinlein @ale_gilotta @VerenaKnaus

We’re very proud that UNICEF's digital application Oky is the winner of the SDG Digital GameChanger Award 2024. We’re especially proud of our co-creators, the adolescent girls. They are the real force in bridging the gender divide and breaking taboos around menstruation.

As I arrive in the Gaza Strip today, I’m struck by the sheer intensity of the damage and destruction I see and by so many children wandering among the rubble. Too many children killed, too many still suffering. This must end.

Sustainable programming Refugee Inclusion Self-reliance How to accelerate the switch from parallel to inclusive systems? Provide predictable financing? Bring publics - and politics- along? Good to reread 👇 unicef.org/media/142081/f…

The International Court of Justice has ruled that Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territory does not comply with international law and that settlement activity must cease. Belgium will always stand up for the respect of international law.

Storms Floods Droughts Wild fires This is our future already happening today Its not just homes destroyed, it’s futures derailed as 20,000 children are displaced from their homes every day due to foods or storms. #ClimateAction for #EveryChild now. @UNICEF @youngo_unfccc

Wenn Kinder wieder lernen dürfen, gibt das nicht nur den Familien neue Hoffnung, es macht langfristig auch die #Sahel-Region sicherer.

‚Investir dans l'éducation donne le meilleur retour sur investissement‘ « L‘infrastructure éducative au Sahel n‘a pas suivi le rythme de la croissance démographique » Education est notre meilleur pari pour la paix, le développement et la sécurité au #Sahel @AllianceSahel

Who is a staying the course on 1% of GNI for development aid? Luxembourg Who is punching above its weight by investing in #EveryChild? Luxembourg Who is leading by example on flexible funding? Exactly 👍 @LuxembourgUN @MFA_Lu @Xavier_Bettel @cooperation_lu

8 million people in the #Sahel 5 countries 4 partners United for resilience @BMZ_Bund @giz_gmbh @UNICEFAfrica @WFP Phase 2 of our joint Sahel Resilience Partnership launched today in #Berlin at the @AllianceSahel

Children who are displaced or are refugees must be supported to have the same rights and opportunities as others. #WorldRefugeeDay UNICEF will continue advocating for these rights and solutions. Find out more about our work. uni.cf/3RABeHz
