Floods in Colombia demand coordinated, rights-based action. We’re helping align Cereté’s local response with national humanitarian mechanisms and preparing to be on the ground. Grateful for @GloriaEstefan’s solidarity and support. #ColombiaCrisis #ChildProtectionInEmergencies

Sexual exploiters often pose as friends or romantic interests, build fast trust, isolate victims, and normalize secrecy. Requests for pics, private chats, money, or offline meetings are red flags. #PreventExploitation #DigitalWellbeing

Floods in Colombia have created a humanitarian crisis. In displacement, children face heightened risks of violence. @InfoHTF is mobilizing as a humanitarian bridge to strengthen child protection and coordinated response. Partners: join forces. #ChildProtectionInEmergencies

Thank you, @MDCollege Medical Campus, for convening county-wide leaders to address trafficking as a public health and human rights crisis. Cross-sector coordination—across healthcare, public safety, education, and survivor services—is how we advance prevention and policy reform.

Flooding from the Urra Dam and Sinú River has devastated Cereté, Córdoba, Colombia. A humanitarian crisis with child protection and health risks. @InfoHTF is serving as a humanitarian bridge with local authorities. Solidarity saves lives and restores dignity.#HumanitarianResponse
