How well do you #KnowYourCountry? If you know the name of the First Nation of the land where you live, well done! Now join the call for a First Nations Cultural Educator in every school. Every child deserves the chance to learn about Australia's rich culture.

Welcoming the National Plan Advisory Group to inform the engage.dss.gov.au/developing-the… Pleased Group includes National Children’s Comm @AnneHollonds and hoping Australia becomes a Pathfinder Country @GPtoEndViolence.

1 in 10 children worldwide are being exploited in child labor. Nearly half of those children are in hazardous work that endangers their health. 2021 is the year for the elimination of child labor. It's time to act ⏰ #EndChildLabour #ENDviolence

A step in the right direction @CCYPVictoria No child belongs behind bars. #raisetheage Australia msn.com/en-au/news/aus…

Congratulations to PNG on becoming a Pathfinding country in the Global Partnership to end violence against children. Would be great if @dfat,@ZedSeselja,@MarisePayne could help to establish a Child Rights Unit at DFAT to support vulnerable children. end-violence.org/papua-new-guin…

World Vision condemns the bombing at a school in #Afghanistan. School is where children should feel safe to learn, play, grow and create a chance for a better future. We call on all parties to work for a peaceful solution to protect that future for Afghan children

🎉Celebrating a historic development for everyone working to protect children online, children’s DIGITAL experiences are now included in the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Read: tbinternet.ohchr.org/_layouts/15/tr… #childrights #ChildProtection

Appointment of more women to Cabinet today = positive. Still not making “children” a Cabinet level responsibility = missed opportunity. How many more crises involving children will it take for this gap to be noticed? @AusHumanRights

It can be done! Excited and celebrating Scotland for passing the UNCRC into law, upholding their commitment to children and following in the footsteps of Sweden. #childrights thescottishsun.co.uk/news/6825418/k…

In #Syria children are missing school and caregivers missing work because they're queuing for hours just to get a loaf of bread writes @WorldVisionUSA Barrett Alexander csis.org/analysis/syria… @CSIS

60% of Syrians don't have enough to eat. Families waiting for hours in bread lines. Economic impact of pandemic & 10 years of war have been disastrous. csis.org/analysis/syria… @WVAnews @dfat #AustralianAid #EndCOVIDforAll

Disappointed with the outcome of the #Yemen Pledging Conference. About 400,000 children are severely malnourished, meaning they are very likely to die. Australia can and should do better to stand in solidarity with Yemeni children. @WVAnews #YemenCantWait #EndCOVIDforAll

Inspiring action. Young people self advocating to be included in policymaking. @smitchellmlc @YouthActionNSW @MYANAustralia @WVAnews #childrights #Article12 smh.com.au/national/nsw/o…

Well done @MeganM4Kids @AusHumanRights
