Worryingly, both abductions, rape, and other forms of sexual violence increased by 2️⃣0️⃣% last year in 21 country situations and 1 regional monitoring arrangement We also saw a general rise in attacks on schools and hospitals - SRSG Gamba #ACTtoProtect #CAAC

The increase in killing/maiming, sexual violence & abduction against girls is concerning In 2021, ⅓ #child victims were girls – when previously the proportions were ¼ 9️⃣8️⃣% of all survivors of rape and other forms of sexual violence were girls - SRSG Gamba #ACTtoProtect #CAAC

As the United Nations launches its #CAAC report, the 🇬🇧 will continue amplifying voices of young people who simply ask for the chance to go to school & right to a childhood free from fear. These should not be big asks. 🌍 must do more to protect children in conflict childrenandarmedconflict.un.org/document/secre…

My favourite story about the Queen… just lovely

Remarkable that however much we argue about who should be Prime Minister there was a huge consensus about Elisabeth’s competence in the role of Queen. She earnt our thanks and appreciation.

We are devastated to hear about the seven World Central Kitchen workers who were killed by Israeli airstrikes yesterday. In less than 6 months, Israeli airstrikes have killed over 170 aid workers and over 13,000 children. We need a #ceasefireNOW

We are shocked and devastated to hear of the killing of our fellow aid workers at World Central Kitchen. In a conflict where starvation is being used as a weapon of war World Central Kitchen’s work was never more critical.
