Every child has the same rights, no matter who they are or where they live. The future is defined by how we care for the next generation. This #WorldChildrensDay, let’s listen to children, amplify their voices and unite to build a safe, equal world for every child.

Mariana shows how knowing one’s rights is essential. Osman draws his right to a family. Elif shares what her ideal day looks like. David draws a school and his right to learn. On #WorldChildrensDay and every day, child rights must be heard and upheld.

Children growing up in poverty and deprived of essentials like good nutrition, proper sanitation and shelter, face devastating consequences for their health and development. It doesn’t have to be this way. UNICEF’s State of the World’s Children Report👇

This #WorldChildrensDay, we’re calling for a renewed commitment to build the future children deserve, and that is enshrined in their rights. Let’s listen to children’s voices, and ensure their rights are not only heard, but upheld.

Thousands of children continue to lose their lives to explosive weapons in populated areas, in conflicts around the world every year. Many more are injured. These are not just numbers. They are shattered lives. Protect children.

Three children killed, 19 more injured in deadly attacks in Ukraine, as per latest reports. "On the eve of National and World Children’s Day, this is a tragic reminder of the devastating impact of war on young lives." - @MunirMammadzade Our statement⬇️ https://t.co/oMP065sNOs

UNICEF strongly condemns the reported attack on a Government Girls School in the Maga community of Kebbi State, in Northwest Nigeria, which resulted in the death of the school’s Vice-Principal of the school and the reported abduction of 25 students. ⬇️ https://t.co/Ln8nyzLG6J

The impacts of conflict, poverty and climate change threaten children’s futures. Their voices must be heard, and their rights upheld. Investing in children and the services they rely on to survive and develop is the best investment in the future. #WorldChildrensDay

Education is every child’s right. Ahead of #WorldChildrensDay, let's continue to spread this message: Investing in education is investing in our future.

Children and young people are uniquely vulnerable to climate change. Their voices must be heard and their futures protected. World leaders must put them at the heart of all efforts to address the impact of the climate crisis. #COP30

Far too many children die every year from pneumonia – a disease we know how to prevent. This #WorldPneumoniaDay, UNICEF calls on decision makers and partners to invest in the essential health services and vaccines to protect the lives of children.

A privilege to address the @Sverigesriksdag Parliamentary Committee for Foreign Affairs today to underscore Sweden's critical role in protecting progress for children worldwide. Grateful for Sweden's support for multilateralism, UN reform, and core funding benefiting children.

Thank you Swedish Television for putting focus on the desperate situation and suffering of children in #Sudan, including the horrors of El Fasher in Darfur. Children and families must always be protected and have access to humanitarian aid. Most of all, children need peace.

Had a great meeting with Minister @BenjaminDousa. We discussed ways to better reach some of the world's most vulnerable children, including those impacted by war, and using innovation to drive results for children. UNICEF is grateful for our strong partnership with Sweden.

Great discussion today with @Sida Director General Jakob Granit in Stockholm. As Sida marks 60-years of transforming lives, @UNICEF is grateful for our partnership in advancing the rights of children and saving lives. Thank you for this journey together #ForEveryChild.

Grateful for the many powerful voices at #COP30 and advocates for the protection of children and their futures from the impacts of climate change. Children, and the services they rely on to survive and grow, must be protected. Let’s meet the challenge of the moment, together.

It's been a year since the first of its kind Ministerial Conference on Ending Violence against Children took place in Bogota-supported by Colombia and Sweden. And we're already seeing progress. Let's build on the momentum and protect all children, everywhere, from violence.

UNICEF, with funding from @UNCERF , is ready to deliver emergency cash assistance to children and families from areas most-affected by Typhoon #UwanPH, who need it the most. 🌧️

“Tawila, the small quiet town I once knew, had changed beyond recognition.” @UNICEFSudan's Rashid Mudall recounts the impact of the ongoing violence in Al Fasher, Sudan, and the displacement of children and families to nearby Tawila.
