Every child has the right to grow up safe, protected, and free from violence. Yet today, millions of children living in situations of armed conflict continue to face unimaginable hardship, losing their homes, their education, their loved ones and, too often, their futures. As part of the Prove It Matters campaign, @inger_ashing_stc, CEO of @savethechildren_int, shares a powerful message and calls on Member States to reaffirm their commitment to the Convention on the Rights of the Child. At a time when children are increasingly affected by conflict, renewing this commitment is more than a symbolic act, it is a reaffirmation of the international community’s responsibility to protect every child and uphold their rights. We are deeply grateful to Save the Children International for its support to the campaign and for its longstanding partnership with the Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict. For decades, our organizations have worked side by side to elevate the voices of children, strengthen protection efforts and advocate for concrete action to protect children affected by war. Because children’s rights are not optional. They are universal. Because every child deserves protection, dignity and hope. Children have rights. Children want peace. Listen and take action. #ProveItMatters. www.proveitmattersnow.com
