First animation in end child marriage series - this one based on true events where tragically girls are abducted and forced into marriage. #RedHandDay #childmarriage

"I did not want to be married, not at that age." This is Zabib's story in #SouthSudan Together, we can #EndChildMarriage

Despite what has been assured, attacks in the south of #Gaza are every bit as vicious as what the north endured. Somehow, it's getting worse for children and mothers. Your voice matters. We must believe we can be a part of Stopping The War on Children ... Silence is complicity

Let girls play, let girls learn, let girls dream, let girls be girls. Together, let us work to #EndChildMarriage in #SouthSudan and ensure every child exercises all their rights.

"No to child marriage" and "Let's end #ChildMarriage in South Sudan" were some of the slogans shouted by children and young people during Friday's run in Juba to commemorate #WorldChildrensDay.

So proud of all the people behind this amazing video shining a spotlight on the personal stories of how child marriage impacts girls in 🇸🇸. Huge thanks to all involved @unicefssudan

#WorldChildrensDay celebration in #SouthSudan this morning began with a run. A run to #EndChildMarriage A run for children's rights A run for a better future, #ForEveryChild. Read➡️ shorturl.at/iyHQS

In commemoration of #WorldChildrensDay in #SouthSudan children and young people turned Juba streets blue yesterday while they ran and walked for the end of #ChildMarriage! Let’s stand up for their rights.

Today, in celebration of #WorldChildrensDay in #SouthSudan, we are so glad to have come together with the South Sudan Ministry of Gender and Social Welfare and partners to stand with children for a common cause: #EndChildMarriage and protect children's rights in the Country.

Her future. Her choice, at the right age! Together, we can work towards the end of #ChildMarriage in South Sudan and around the world. #ForEveryChild, a childhood

Unrelenting attacks have taken a devastating toll on Gaza's children, with a reported 2,360 fatalities and 5,364 injuries. More than 30 Israeli children have reportedly lost their lives. We urgently appeal for a ceasefire, humanitarian access, and the release of hostages.

Wonderful to visit a school at the Malakal Protection of Civilians (PoC) Site. Although it was great to see these children learning, 2.8m others are out of school across the country. We must accelerate efforts to get all children of #SouthSudan in school, esp. vulnerable girls.

Wonderful visit to the #Malakal Teaching Hospital supported by #UNICEF & @WorldBank, under the leadership of @MoHsouthsudan. The facility's new sustainable solar system means 24/7 power supply, so that healthcare, maternity & immunization services can continue w/out interruption.

📍Panakuach, #Unity State, #SouthSudan. Thousands of people, including children & women, have come here to escape conflict in #Sudan, with significant needs. @unicefssudan Rep. @HamidaLasseko is calling for more support to #ProtectChildren & continue to provide assistance.

Severe flooding is putting the lives of many children in South Sudan at risk. @UNICEF is working to ensure that the future is water-secure #ForEveryChild. With thanks to @BMZ_Bund through @KfW_int the EU, @NLinSouthSudan @OCHASouthSudan @UNICEFgermany @UNOPS @MOFAkr_eng

🚨 South Sudan is experiencing some of the worst effects of the climate crisis, with unprecedented floods and droughts affecting children and communities throughout the country.

The reality of climate impacts in South Sudan…. Watch the melancholic tune of flood and drought playing out at the same time.

Today @unicefssudan had an excellent meeting with @ForestWhitaker & team from Whitaker Peace and Development Initiative @connectWPDI to discuss areas of partnership in youth empowerment, peace & children affected by armed conflict in #SouthSudan.

#Flooding & drought have a significant impact on #Education in #SouthSudan, particularly in hard-to-reach areas. Thanks to the EU, @AfDBGroup, @GPforEducation, & @NorwayinSSudan, @UNICEF is supporting teachers & schools in the most remote part of the Country. @EUinSouthSudan

As thousands of people arrive in 🇸🇸 each day from 🇸🇩 @UNICEF & @UN_SouthSudan partners help the most vulnerable: like severely malnourished and sick, Chinhial in Renk w/ life-saving medical support. Read the harrowing story 👇 shar.es/af9Q9i @UNICEFAfrica @UNICEFmena
