In conflicts around the world, thousands of children are losing their lives to explosive weapons. Many more are living through unimaginable trauma. Parties to conflict must #ProtectChildrenInConflict and end the use of explosive weapons in populated areas.

In 2023, nearly 3 in 5 children killed or maimed in conflict were victims of explosive weapons, most in populated areas. We must do more. 📢 We call on States to stop arms transfers to actors who harm civilians and to end the use of #EWIPA, once and for all. #ArmsTradeTreaty

📊 NEW from UNICEF: 67,000 fewer children are in detention today than in 2018. This is step forward, but not enough. We must invest in justice that protects and empowers children. #JusticeForChildren 🔗data.unicef.org/resources/chil…
