Every child has the right to grow up in a safe, clean, and healthy environment. But in East Asia and the Pacific, that right is at risk. Thank you Climate Group for spotlighting why a just and urgent net zero transition matters — especially for children. youtu.be/4SMXmtmLsmI?si…

In a world of plenty, there is no excuse for children to go hungry or die of malnutrition. Hunger gnaws at the stomach of a child. It gnaws, too, at their dignity, their sense of safety & their future. Millions of children’s lives hang in the balance.👇 unicef.org/press-releases…

It’s okay to not be okay — and it’s more than okay to talk about it. Every child deserves to grow up feeling safe, supported, and understood. That starts with open conversations about mental health — and truly listening. #MentalHealthActionDay

Millions of children around the world are caught in conflicts and emergencies. UNICEF and partners are delivering life-saving supplies with thanks to donors. But with record high numbers of children affected by humanitarian disasters, we need your support now as much as ever.

8-year-old Mg Pyae once fell asleep easily. Now he wakes in terror every night. Like him, thousands of children in Myanmar are still gripped by trauma - weeks after the earthquake. 💔 Read how UNICEF is helping children heal. 👇🏻 unicef.org/myanmar/storie…

Leadership begins when we look beyond limitations. It was such a pleasure meeting Zi Kin—a young person showing that people with disabilities belong in every room where decisions are made. 💙

🔎 108M children with disabilities live in Asia & the Pacific—yet many remain unseen, unheard, and excluded. New data is shedding light, but more must be done so that every child is counted, included, and supported to thrive. @unicefrosa @‌UNICEF_EAPRO unicef.link/4mLfhDj

The theme of #WorldEnvironmentDay must be carried on. Let’s say no to single-use—and yes to a liveable planet. For every child’s today and tomorrow. 🌍

Vaccine-preventable diseases are making a dangerous comeback in East Asia & Pacific. We're seeing a signal that the systems meant to protect children are faltering. No child should suffer or die from a disease we know how to prevent. unicef.org/eap/press-rele…
