Unwanted messages. Pressure for photos. Threats and harassment. Many adolescent girls face digital violence every time they go online. That’s why girls like Kolap and Romdoul* from Cambodia are learning to protect themselves through UNICEF-supported online safety classes. This is how they’re taking back their digital spaces. #16Days #NoExcuse *Names have been changed

High levels of malnutrition continue to endanger children’s lives in the Gaza Strip. Nutrition screenings conducted by UNICEF and partners identified almost 9,300 children under 5 years of age with acute malnutrition in October, down from 11,746 children in September and 14,363 children in August. While this downward trend demonstrates progress in treating and preventing acute malnutrition among children in Gaza, October still marks one of the highest monthly admissions rates on record, and is nearly five times higher than in February 2025, during the previous ceasefire. As winter weather sets in, thousands of displaced families remain in makeshift shelters without warm clothes, blankets or protection from the elements, while heavy rains have washed waste and sewage through floodwaters and into populated areas. With poor sanitation, overcrowding and limited access to safe water, disease spreads rapidly and disproportionately affects young children. The combination of malnutrition and disease is especially lethal: each condition accelerates and worsens the other. Cold temperatures also dramatically increase the body’s energy needs, putting malnourished children, who lack fat and muscle reserves, at severe risk of hypothermia. UNICEF is on the ground and responding, but the safe, rapid and unimpeded movement of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip is critical.

Did you know that many of UNICEF's programmes for children in health, nutrition, education, and emergency response are made possible through small contributions, that, combined can make a life-changing impact? Today, we’re celebrating an extraordinary milestone: more than $40 million AUD (apx. $25.7M USD) raised since 1991 through our longstanding partnership with Qantas and the Change for Good programme. Thanks to the generosity of Qantas passengers who donate their spare change inflight, at the airport or online with points, and the dedication of cabin crew who make this possible, these contributions have helped support UNICEF's essential work. Together, we will continue building a brighter future for every child. With UNICEF Australia

“I am humbled by the drive, resilience and passion of the children and young people I met today who are fighting for change at an early age and having a say in their future. They are truly inspirational and have conquered many challenges to be where they are today. Their journey is an important reminder that we must continue investing in children and young people.” – Sir David Beckham, UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. During his visit to India, Sir David Beckham met young changemakers making a real difference around them, including nine-year-old Tirth, a waste compost champion. He also met 12-year-old Khushi and ten-year-old Rohit, children from some of the most vulnerable communities, for whom football has brought confidence, new skills and a sense of joy and belonging. Their stories show what children and young people can achieve when they are supported and given the chance to lead. UNICEF is working with communities and partners to ensure every child and young person can fulfil their potential and follow their dreams.

Children living in poverty have worse physical and mental health, attain lower levels of education, and have less success in labour markets. Children are more than twice as likely as adults to live in extreme poverty. Proven solutions exist. Scalable innovations are ready. A better future is ours, if we choose children. #EndChildPoverty — it’s our shared imperative. https://lnkd.in/gRgNAaEE

Children in South Sudan are facing a severe food and nutrition crisis, driven by escalating conflict, access constraints, economic crisis, climatic shocks, and more. Displaced with his family by devastating floods, three-year-old Wictour was diagnosed with severe malnutrition and received life-saving treatment at a UNICEF-supported nutrition centre.

Children in Oceania, Sub-Saharan Africa and Central and Southern Asia are the most likely to live with a mother who has faced physical, emotional or sexual abuse by a partner in the past year. Studies show that violence not only harms the health and well-being of women, but also significantly impacts their children’s sense of safety, health, and learning. Children growing up in households where women are experiencing violence are also significantly more likely to be subjected to physical or psychological aggression themselves. Such exposure heightens their risk of carrying violence into adulthood, either as victims or perpetrators. UNICEF calls on governments and partners to invest in proven solutions to end violence against women and children. Read more ⬇️ #NoExcuse https://lnkd.in/gG-zyEyA
