In Tawila, I visited this nutrition centre, backed by the Sudan Humanitarian Fund – a lifeline for displaced families, powered by Sudanese health workers and local groups who know the needs of their communities best.
This is humanitarian action amid immense hardship.

A special visit, deep conversations, just what gives meaning to essence and content of Pact for the Future at #UNGA2024, the special dialogue with the girls!
Thank you Åsa Regner, CEO Save the Children Sweden, former ASG/DED @UN_Women for the visit and the close dailogue yesterday with girl from #Zimbabwe and #Peru.
They are feminist and transformative leaders today and tomorrow!

Today marks 100 years of #childrights.
While there’s been some progress, we have significant work to do. We need to work alongside children so the next 100 years brings a brighter future.
I've shared some thoughts with @euronews:

At the opening of #SummitOfTheFuture today, @save_children's new report shows that children from rural & poor families are being left behind in global development
It is time to prioritise the #SDGs and to leave no children behind.

This is news worth celebrating!
Sierra Leone has banned child marriage, thanks to a campaign joined by child advocates trained and supported by Save the Children.
An amazing achievement for children in Sierra Leone who have campaigned for their rights. bit.ly/4cxsxFW

History!
It is now a crime to marry a child in Sierra Leone. The Parliament of Sierra Leone today passed into law the bill titled "The Prohibition of Child Marriage."

(1/3) "Mon message est que @DRC_sci devrait continuer à aider les enfants à étudier parce que cela apporte un changement dans la façon dont nos enfants font les choses. Il y a d'autres enfants dans la même situation que la mienne qui ont besoin d'aide à l'école".

Ending female genital mutilation (FGM) is a human rights issue.
We all have a responsibility to push forward for women & girls EVERYWHERE.
We join @UNGambia and our Regional Goodwill Ambassador @JahaENDFGM to call for an end to this harmful practice.
It's time to #EndFGM now!

The recent events in #BurkinaFaso is an urgent reminder of the need to respond to the Central #Sahel crisis. The senior officials meeting is the time to renew commitments & mobilise support for the 3.6M children in need of protection in the region. @eu_echo

The history of the struggle against poverty and injustice is one of protest and challenge to the status quo. That's why @christian_aid is opposed to the limits on protest in the #PolicingBill
➡️ #WeProtest to end global poverty
🪧 Today we took over 800k signatures to the @ukhomeoffice to say no to limits to protest set out in the proposed #PolicingBill
✖️ The Bill threatens our right to protest and stand with people living in poverty around the world

Great news on my 1st day back at work @Save_Children after hols...in the #Philippines –– the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act is now law = child marriage is now illegal. As 1 in 6 Filipino girls suffer child marriage, this is a strong step in our fight to #EndChildMarriage
