Last field visit of 2025: For Every Child, Opportunities At Kavaja Juvenile Institute, we witnessed resilience and hope. Mistakes don’t define a future—opportunities do. #ForEveryChild #Opportunities #YouthEmpowerment @albania_unicef

Refugee and displaced children must be treated first and foremost as children. Protection from violence, family separation and unsafe returns must be non-negotiable. #GRF Progress Review #ChildRights

Children remain the last group for whom physical punishment is still widely tolerated. Today, we launched the study on gender-transformative parenting to help end #violenceagainstwomen & #children. The last accepted pocket of “justified” violence cannot be childhood.

Honoured to mark #WorldChildrensDay in Ukraine at the Family for Every Child Better Care Awards! Amid wartime, Ukraine is advancing care reform, ensuring every child grows up safe in a loving family. Thank you to @UNICEF_UA and @MunirMammadzade

📣 Albania is developing its European #ChildGuarantee National Plan to ensure the most vulnerable children access essential services. #UNICEFAlbania is supporting inclusive consultations with local gov & civil society to drive policies that leave no child behind. @ShendetesiaAL

Social workers like Viktoriia in #Dnipro are true heroes, dedicating themselves to protect and improve the lives of children and families. On #Ukraine’s Social Workers Day, we extend our heartfelt thanks to them all. In challenging times, their work is more vital than ever.

Physical punishment doesn’t teach - it harms. In @LBC, read our Child Protection Senior Advisor’s op-ed on how a proposed bill to ban corporal punishment in England is a vital opportunity to protect every child’s right to safety: lbc.co.uk/article/hittin… @unicefprotects

Ukraine reaffirms its commitment to #ENDViolence against children at the Regional Conference on Ending Violence Against Children. @MinSocUA As a key partner, UNICEF supports reforms to strengthen child protection systems and programmes to address the impact of war on children.

At the Regional Conference on Ending Violence Against Children, child rights advocates' message to leaders is clear: don't just promise protection, make it real. 💪 @unicefromania @unicefprotects @un_endviolence

As these young people also said, “Change can’t happen for us if it doesn’t happen with us.”   We can achieve protection from violence FOR and WITH children and young people.

The Law on Alternative Care for Children in Albania is currently undergoing public consultation, with the aim of aligning it with EU standards and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. A significant step #foreverychild @albania_unicef konsultimipublik.gov.al/Konsultime/Det…

Social workers like Florentina are critical to protect children from violence – supporting vulnerable families with care, and an understanding of children’s rights. Hear from Florentina and learn about the life-changing impact of social workers in Romania.
