Happening now ⏰ We’re at #CSW67 in a high-level event to discuss how we can catalyze innovation to #EndFGM and #EndChildMarriage @GPtoEndFGM

@binokary There are conversations you never forget. Conversations that sear your soul. These children I spoke with have gone through abuse and harm that no human should face let alone children.

@cornwilliams14 Every conversation? Either you have an exceptionally memory, or the conversations were few.

After 35 years, I am bowing out with pride. I still hear children’s voices, still recall meetings with world leaders, still remember every conversation with fellow child protection practitioners. I hope that this journey has meant as much to you as it has to me.

@GPChildMarriage @UNICEF We work in communities with the highest prevalence

Worldwide, around 15 million girls aged 15 to 19 have experienced forced sex in their lifetime. @UNICEF is working tirelessly to protect children and young people everywhere. #Nov18WorldDay for the Prevention of and Healing from Child Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Violence.

Honored to be part of marking the 1st World Day for the Prevention of & Healing from Child Sexual Exploitation, Abuse & Violence. I hope this day becomes one of accountability to ensure justice & healing &, above all, to prevent sexual violence against children. #Nov18WorldDay

We want to achieve universal #birthregistration by 2030. Yet 40% of Africa’s unregistered children are in the Eastern region. Urgent efforts needed to increase birth registration among the poorest children. Read latest @UNICEFData report to learn more: bit.ly/3gCYRzt
