Every day, 244 children in Europe fall into poverty.
On the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, we’re asking: why is this still happening & what can the EU do to change it?
Child poverty isn’t inevitable — it’s a policy choice.
The EU can act by:
âś… Strengthening the Social Fund for children
âś… Fully implementing the Child Guarantee
âś… Investing in education, health & housing
Child poverty is the cost Europe can’t afford ➡️ bit.ly/Child-Poverty-2025
1 in 4 children in Europe lives at risk of poverty or social exclusion. That’s 19.5 million children — and the number is growing.
Five years ago, the EU made a pledge to tackle this. So why are things getting worse, not better?

Children across Europe are proving their voices matter. At #HotAndHappening Week in Brussels, they campaigned, met EU leaders & brought ideas to Parliament. Now, their demands are shaping European policy. See how children are leading change across Europe.
Every skilled adult was once a child who have had the chance to learn.
As the #GlobalGatewayForum opens today, we’re joining @WorldVisionEU, Handicap International, @PlanEU, and @ChildFundEU to remind EU leaders that lasting progress begins with education.
That’s why, together with our partners, we’ve called on President @vonderleyen and the European
Commission to put inclusive, quality education at the heart of the EU’s #GlobalGateway.
Because building sustainable futures starts with investing in people, not just infrastructure
‼️No child should pay the price of inaction.

As EU member states consider decisions that will shape their future, the voices of Sara & Lour, Yasmeen & Omar should echo in every chamber, outweigh every excuse, and drive action that puts children's lives and rights first.
