From Sudan to Gaza, from the Democratic Republic of the Congo to Ukraine, children are bearing the brunt of the global failure to uphold human rights.

Every day, children across the world are being robbed of their right to childhood.

We are witnessing a dreadful decline in children’s wellbeing, happiness and even survival.

Decades of progress on children’s rights and development are stagnating and even being rolled back.

Even in countries that are at peace, children are routinely denied their rights to food, water and shelter; to education, healthcare and a clean environment.

It is our duty to ensure that even in the most trying times, children’s rights remain a priority and their voices are heard.

The Convention on the Rights of the Child is the most widely ratified human rights treaty in the world. We must find our way back to that pledge and stand up for the rights of every child, every day.

Together, we can and must build a brighter, fairer, more inclusive world for every child.
