For the first time in two decades, a girl’s risk of child marriage is increasing. That's why @SavetheChildren is joining the fight for #GenerationEquality. We're calling on governments, civil society, and the private sector to stand with adolescent girls to #EndChildMarriage.

One of those must now read and retweet - here and now inspirations @stc_india @CRYINDIA @save_children @ingerashing – at New Delhi, India
102 yrs ago today, @SavetheChildren was founded by #EglantyneJebb, subject of my bk #TheWomanWhoSavedTheChildren. In 1919 Erich Karl was one of the German children whose life was saved by Eglantyne’s aid for the starving children of Britain’s former enemies. He's now 108.

6 children and young adults are standing up for children’s rights. They filed a case in the European court of Human Rights against 33 countries to seek urgent action to address the #climatecrisis. We're intervening in the case to stand with children fighting for climate justice.
This is one step toward ensuring COVID-19 vaccines reach everyone, everywhere. @SavetheChildren welcomes the announcement by the Biden administration supporting the waiver of intellectual property for COVID-19 vaccines. No one is safe until everyone is safe.
These extraordinary times and circumstances of call for extraordinary measures. The US supports the waiver of IP protections on COVID-19 vaccines to help end the pandemic and we’ll actively participate in @WTO negotiations to make that happen.

In just one year, over 70 MILLION 10-year-olds will fail to acquire basic literacy skills, missing a critical milestone to a better future. That’s equivalent to the combined population of Senegal 🇸🇳 and Kenya 🇰🇪 #LostPotentialTracker #SaveOurEducation lostpotential.one.org/
