Being a mother is my highest calling but I'm equally fascinated by concepts of #publicpolicy #socialdevelopment #genderequality & #childprotection.

Thousands of little feet ran today for a big cause at UNICEF's Children's Race: birth registration. Every child counted. Every child protected. Because birth registration is the first step toward a lifetime of rights.

This is great that a bi partisan bill is signed into law by the president. Online abuse and exploitation especially, of children should end

On March 18, we celebrated #socialworkers but until you meet social workers like Hiluf Fitsum below, it is impossible to put into perspective the #criticality of social work.
This Social Work Month, we celebrate social workers like Hiluf Fitsum, who work tirelessly to ensure #children are safe, protected, and given the opportunity to thrive.

Displacement of #children disrupts their health, including #MentalHealth. Without consistent support, @UNICEFEthiopia and #partners are unable to provide #services to #children. Thank you @KOICA_Ethiopia
Thanks to the generous funding from KOICA, unaccompanied #children like Nyabhan are receiving the psychosocial support they need to resume a sense of normalcy after being displaced. @KOICA_Ethiopia

It is good that #AlexandercCartney, a prolific online abuser of children, is sentenced to life. Online abuse or any form of violence against children must not be tolerated. @EndVACAfrica @unicefprotects

A world where girls remain at risk is a world that must change. Each year, 4 million girls endure FGM, putting their lives and health in danger. With only 4 years left to achieve the #SDGs, we must act now to protect their futures. #EndFGM @GPtoEndFGM #DayOfTheGirl #GirlGoals
