As Dr. Najat Maalla M’jid delivers her final statement to the United Nations General Assembly as Special Representative, she reflects on a mandate that must continue beyond her tenure.
“My tenure may be ending, but the urgent mandate to protect all children, leaving no one behind, can never expire.
Let history record that this #GeneralAssembly continues to stand for and with children!”

In an increasingly fragmented world, children remain our common ground and our greatest source of hope.
The next generation is not waiting. Children are not a distant future to be protected tomorrow; they are the present.
We owe every child a childhood free from fear and violence.
Move with them.

Çocuklar, geleceğe uzanan insanlık zincirinin en değerli halkası; himaye edilmesi gereken en kıymetli emanetlerimizdir.
İşte bu bakışla, BM Genel Merkezi’nde, “Görünmeyen Mimari: Çocuklar için Güvenli Dijital Sistemler İnşa Etmek” başlıklı etkinlikte, kıymetli lider eşleri ile bir araya geldik.
Çocuklarımızın esenliği için birlikte çıkacağımız bir yolun ilk adımını attık.
Dijital dünyanın çocuklarımız için daha güvenli hâle gelmesinin ancak küresel iş birliğiyle mümkün olabileceği noktasında hemfikiriz.
Zira çocukların güvenliği, yalnızca ebeveynlerin değil, hepimizin sorumluluğudur.
Farklılaşan ulusal uygulamalardan ziyade, ortak küresel standartlar geliştirmeliyiz.
İnanıyorum ki, insanlığın dijital geleceğini ancak bu adımları atarak başıboşluktan kurtarabiliriz.
Tecrübe ve görüşleriyle buluşmamıza değer katan değerli lider eşleri ile programde emeği geçen herkese teşekkür ediyorum. @tcailesosyal @UNICEF @UN_EndViolence

Congratulations to the team at #MUNalert on their extraordinary commitment to protecting children.
They are preventing and responding to cyberbullying and other forms of violence by mobilizing young people, volunteers, and communities to take meaningful action.
And through collaboration with governments and law enforcement, they are helping to find missing children.
From young change-makers to leading change, their journey shows what youth-led action can achieve.

📣 Protecting children is the first step to breaking the cycle of violence.
Dr. Najat Maalla M’jid reminds us: these crimes are widespread, underreported, and devastating.

Behind every statistic is a human story.
These stories are a powerful reminder that conflict-related sexual violence is not inevitable, it is preventable. Survivors deserve more than recognition of their suffering; they deserve protection, support, justice, and accountability.
The international community must match their courage with action.
