🎉@vonderleyen has been re-elected as @EU_Commission President! Congratulations on your second term! We cannot agree more with you: to build a strong Europe that delivers prosperity, protects people & defends democracy, the EU must ensure that ALL children are protected.

Solve the puzzle to find some of the most urgent priorities for @EU_Commission @vonderleyen ⬇️ Several important initiatives mentioned protecting children’s rights, but we still need to address many more crucial issues. Let's see these commitments translated into action!⏰

In your election address, you mentioned key points for better protection of children, from fighting poverty & climate change to safeguarding their mental health. We now need to see this in practice—beginning with the new Commissioners’ mission letters. neighbourhood-enlargement.ec.europa.eu/news/statement…

EU member states' representatives are meeting today to discuss ways to regulate child sexual abuse online. A strong regulation is crucial for a safe digital environment for children.   The EU must protect children’s rights in the digital age. Learn more: bit.ly/SC_EUGuide

On behalf of the Alliance for #InvestingInChildren, we are participating in the #ChildGuarantee National Coordinators meeting and presenting our recommendations. With 20M+ children affected by #ChildPoverty in the EU, urgent action is needed. Prioritising the Child Guarantee is crucial for a fairer future, and the participation of civil society is key. The @EU_Commission must work with stakeholders before the 2026 assessment. Read our statement here: bit.ly/3Vh3BeK

Gathering to tackle child poverty in Europe. Happy to host with @SaveChildrenEU this vital conversation, delving into solutions to ensure every child has a fair chance. #InvestingInChildhood #EndChildPoverty"

Child poverty isn't just a social issue; it's a direct threat to the European project. It takes up to five generations to lift a family out of poverty. Investing in children today is investing in Europe’s future propserity and wellbeing. #EUelections2024 #IAm20Million

It's a sad day for the EU, known as the champion of human rights. The role of civil society & organisations like ours becomes more important than ever, as restrictive #migrationEU policies endanger child rights & fail to address shortcomings of the current asylum system. 2/2

New #EUMigrationPact will drastically undermine children’s rights in Europe. “It’s clear that @Europarl_EN & EU Member States have prioritised restricting access to Europe over the protection of children,” says @bergwill1 @SaveChildrenEU Director savethechildren.net/news/statement…

📣 Happening today With colleagues from @SaveChildrenDE @SaveChildrenEs @SCIUkraine @SaveChildrenAlb @SaveChildrenIT @SaveChildrenNL we’re launching new policy paper ‘Investing in Childhood’, which charts the path to #EndChildPoverty in Europe. We will be hearing from MEPs @dragos_pislaru & @brandobenifei, as well as representatives from @EU2024BE @EU_Social @UNICEF_EU in the @Europarl_EN #EndChildPovertyWeek #IAm20Million

📢 Save the Children, along with 160 civil society organisations, call on @EP_Justice @TheProgressives @EPPGroup @RenewEurope @GreensEFA @Left_EU to vote down harmful #MigrationEU Pact and reject it in today's @Europarl_EN vote. Our statement ⤵️ #StopThisPact

Every child deserves to thrive, yet in Europe, 1 in 4 face poverty or social exclusion. It's an urgent crisis affecting children across all European countries. With #EUelections2024 approaching, the time for action is NOW. #EndChildPoverty #IAm20Million

In Europe – one of the world’s wealthiest regions – nearly 1/4 of all children face poverty and social exclusion, and it’s only getting worse. With 2024 #EUelections less than two months away, addressing child poverty must become a central concern for the upcoming European Parliament and Commission agendas. To underscore the urgency of this issue and advocate for tangible actions, Save the Children launches #EndChildPovertyWeek under the banner #IAm20Million. Throughout the week, we'll raise awareness, share crucial information, and push for impactful solutions to alleviate the widespread impact of child poverty on children and families continent-wide. Here's what you can expect: 📜 Launch of an advocacy paper on investing in childhood at the European Parliament in Brussels 🔄 Roundtable discussions on addressing child poverty in EU candidate countries 🌍 Expert meeting on child poverty and the climate crisis 🎥 Release of awareness-raising video clips on the topic Stay tuned and follow #IAm20Million for more 👀

The #ClimateCrisis is an inequality crisis, and children, who are least responsible, suffer the most. With the upcoming #EUelections and a right-shifting Parliament, the robust EU green agenda is at risk. NGOs and international organisations must work closely to ensure a socially just green agenda protects children. As part of the #EndChildPovertyWeek, today's discussions with @Green_Europe @WWFEU and @CANEurope highlighted the critical link between children’s rights, poverty, and climate action. Let's continue this important collaboration for impactful change beyond 2024 🙌

‼️ Trapped and scarred: Save the Children's latest report highlights that children in #Gaza have endured 'complete psychological destruction' during five months of war.
