Check out the "Manual for Child Protection Staff in #UN Peace Operations". I enjoyed writing this document, which includes practical guidance, tips and exercises to bolster the incredible work of CP Advisers worldwide. #peacekeeping

Why is the police not arresting these criminals? They forced their way into the Capitol and terrorized our elected officials and their staff. #whiteprivilege
A line of people exit the Capitol building. One bloodied in the head and more came out who previously stormed the building.

We know children suffer disproportionately more in war. They also benefit less in #peace. Addressing needs of conflict-affected children in peace processes isn’t just a legal/moral imperative. It’s crucial to durable peace. 💬Jo Becker #UNSC briefing #ChildrenAndArmedConflict

The year 2019 has been a momentous year in the fight against sexual exploitation and abuse by #humanitarian aid workers. I’m grateful that I was able to support @UNICEF’s efforts to address SEA and strengthen #accountability. #safeguarding

Binged this. It's a must-watch. Very difficult at times, but the story - based on real events - is important. And brilliant performances by the actors. I cried, I punched the air, I cried. #unbelievablenetflix

“We were so in love with our connectivity that we didn’t read the terms and conditions.” Highly recommend watching the documentary “The Great Hack” on Netflix #dataprotection

These children have witnessed things most adults cannot even imagine, and that type of trauma leaves invisible wounds that may never heal. “If you have to leave reality, the body will survive, but the soul will not.” #STOPTHEWARONCHILDREN @JenPercy

After the horror of ISIS captivity, tens of thousands of Iraqis — many of them children — are caught up in a mental-health crisis unlike any in the world.
