Nearly 1 in 5 children, globally, are living in conflict zones as the world experiences the highest number of conflicts since World War II.
The world continues to be a merciless place for too many children - children caught in wars, children on the move, and children who are hungry, hurt or neglected. Now, just when we most need people to step up, institutions that have long protected the world’s most vulnerable are stepping back.
On the front lines, our teams grapple with severe cuts and impossible choices. Every reduction in support puts another child at risk.
This is NOT a crisis for UNICEF. This is a crisis for children. Who is going to protect the most vulnerable? Stand up for what is right. Choose hope.
