🌍 On #WorldSocialWorkDay, we celebrate social service workers who are the backbone of child protection across all contexts.
At @UNICEF,we strengthen child protection systems across 150+ countries and prioritize social workers as a commitment to children’s safety and well-being.
Today on World Social Work day, we celebrate the women and men who work so hard to ensure that every child is protected from harm in Rwanda. Social Workers and Psychologists - the Child Protection and Welfare Officers (CPWOs) who work day and night to build a safe and secure environment for children, preventing any form of abuse and neglect and ensuring that families receive all the necessary support to keep their children safe, and within nurturing and supportive family settings.
I salute every social worker in Rwanda for their great work and dedication to the service of humanity throughout the life-cycle. They are there to hold our hands in whatever situation and whatever stage of our lives. Their support is inter-generational, yet we never appreciate them enough.
I am proud and humbled to have interacted, worked with and witnessed first hand, the selflessness of these great women and men. #WSWD2025

With financial support from @USAIDRwanda, @unicefrw has proudly supported @RwandaGov every step of the way. This deinstitutionalization from orphanages into family-based care of over 90% of children has also catalyzed a strong child protection workforce that protects every child.
The partnership between @unicefrw and @MTNRwanda demonstrates the untapped potential in the role of telecoms and tech companies in making children’s online experiences safe and secure.
Through evidence generation on child online risks, the partnership will contribute to evidence informed prevention, mitigation and response efforts to promote safe digital inclusion of all children in Rwanda. @Rwanda_Justice @RIB_Rw @Rwanda_Child @RwandaGender @RwandaICT
@MTNRwanda and @unicefrw #ForEveryChild!
Launched today, our partnership zero-rates @Ingazi_official, @iteterorw, & two @REBRwanda e-learning platforms & advances child online protection, reaching ~5M children.
The partnership will also amplify #OneEggPerChild to 4M caregivers!

"Deinstitutionalisation is not an end in itself, it needs to be coupled with reforming child protection systems and prevention of separation, including investments in social services workforce and services."
-Leon Muwoni, UNICEF Rwanda. @LeonMuwoni #EVACConference #endviolenceagainstchildren @UN_EndViolence
Social workers, the unsung heroes of #childprotection. On #SocialWorkDay, we should take the time to recognize them, not for what they do on some days, but on each & every day of their professional lives.
#WSWD2024 @IFSW @SSWAlliance @Rwanda_Child
🤩As we celebrate #SocialWorkDay, we recognize the important role of #socialworkers in #childprotection, who fulfill the Buen Vivir spirit in communities through transformative change & community-led approaches based on indigenous wisdom.
#WSWD24 @IFSW @SSWAlliance @Rwanda_Child

In today's digital world, #ChildSafetyOnlineRW is of utmost importance!
As the holiday season begins, empower your child with the proper education to navigate the internet safely & protect their well-being & development.
Let's create a safer online environment #ForEveryChild💻
ALT Online safety rules that every child must know. If someone sends you inappropriate content or asks you to send them inappropriate images of yourself, log off immediately and report this to your parent/guardian. Keep your passwords a secret at all times. Do not share your personal information with anyone, or agree to meet with a stranger. Remember, not everyone on the internet is your friend. think twice about what you are sending.
Yet another milestone in efforts to strengthen the interconnected roles of child and social services, law enforcement and justice actors in ensuring child sensitive justice service service delivery @Rwanda_Justice
The NCDA in partnership with @unicefrw is conducting a one-day training for different actors in child justice. These includes investigators, prosecutors, judges, lawyers, Correction Facilities officers, social workers and District’s child protection and welfare officers.

🚀Inspiring insights on #ChildOnlineSafety from @origenei, UNICEF YPAT member & CEO of @OgeniusPriority.
Sharing his journey from a tech enthusiast to a national award-winning innovator, he is aware of both the opportunities & risks the internet can bring to children!
#MWC2023
ALT So now the question for us as leaders, ladies and gentlemen, is how can we help prepare children and young people to seize the opportunities presented by the digital world without compromising their well-being or putting it at risk? Are we training them well enough to be the cybersecurity soldiers who can defend data privacy, integrity, and protection?
Huge congratulations to the Ministry and to Mr Masanga Simon. The reappointment means continuity and consistency in the transformation of social welfare that is underway!

Can you join us to enhance a safe and secure environment for all children in Rwanda? Let’s do it by preventing and responding to various ills including family conflicts and violence against children #Childprotection
Social Workers and indeed, all social services workforce play a critical role in the delivery and coordination of child protection services. Their role is not an ‘either or’ matter. The call for more social workers comes at the right time for #childprotection in Rwanda.
“There’s really just one thing I want to talk with you about today: Rwanda needs more social workers in the sectors & districts.”
In her remarks, @LindseyJulianna highlighted the need for more social workers & called on Ministries to seriously discuss this in 2023/24 budgeting.
ALT This framework is an excellent step forward to have a systematic way to track cases and ensure they are resolved. But to make it work effectively, we need many more social workers. In my dream world, we’d have one for every sector in Rwanda. My plea is that MIGEPROF, MINALOC, and MINECOFIN will have serious discussions about how to increase the number of social workers so that we can see the case management framework implemented to its full potential.
