In Mali, children are being forced to fight by armed groups, trafficked, raped, sold, forced into sexual or domestic servitude, or married off. Many more are at risk in the Sahel- a region which is becoming the world's fastest-growing humanitarian crisis. https://t.co/1tAZfB4l13

An estimated 13 million more children could be married off as a result of the C-19 pandemic.   Child marriage is just one of the catastrophic impacts of the virus. Without new funding, millions of the world's most vulnerable are falling through the gaps.   https://t.co/GConjG3xM6

People already affected by humanitarian crises are forced to contend with increasing conflict, COVID, gender-based violence and a myriad of other gross human rights violations.   Join us here for a discussion today on how we must address these challenges: https://t.co/Vv76rNGxOq https://t.co/9cn42Ii5M1

The Global Compact for Refugees calls for refugees to be included in peace processes. For lasting peace, refugee voices must be listened to at all stages. South Sudan has shown that doing so is not only possible - but also critical for the future of the country. https://t.co/QEgOcKZx9z

Protection Clusters are activated in emergencies when civilians need life-saving support and safeguarding of their rights. There are 35 in the world today. Since the onset of COVID they've received increasing reports of worsening risks and deteriorating conditions for civilians https://t.co/UVcnDfBsdk

Increased gender-based violence in at least 27 countries has been reported by the UNHCR-led Global Protection Cluster, a network of UN agencies and NGOs providing protection to people affected by humanitarian crises. https://t.co/fMLasNVExi

As the COVID pandemic prolongs, confinement, poverty and economic duress have unleashed a renewed wave of violence against refugee women and girls. Reports of gender-based violence, trafficking, sexual exploitation and child marriages are rising alarmingly https://t.co/3yShNtkDVQ

We are deeply concerned about the situation in Tigray. We call on all parties to the conflict to protect civilians and ensure they can access safety. We urge full, immediate and unconditional humanitarian access to reach all people in need. https://t.co/7YT2Y5H6ue

COVID-19 has created a child rights crisis. Around the world, children face increased risks of poverty and violence as well as a loss of education and protection. We must step up and respond to this challenge together. #WorldChildrensDay https://t.co/VywH505v0p

More than 30 million children have been forced to flee their homes. Many will spend their entire childhoods in exile. They need protection, shelter, education and the opportunity to build their lives, in safety and peace. #WorldChildrensDay https://t.co/TX2r6ijqnG
