When there are no visible signs of violence, how can healthcare workers help a child survivor of abuse? Trained healthcare workers like Ms. Chan Sophea play a vital role in breaking the cycle of violence against children, offering care and support to child survivors of violence and sexual abuse. By equipping them with the right tools and connecting healthcare with child protection services, we can ensure every child receives the help they need to heal. 💙 #Act16Days #16Days2024  UNICEF Cambodia Marianna Garofalo

Happy International Day of Persons with Disabilities! 💙 How do we create a world where every child can thrive? At Qisehua Kindergarten in China, where nearly 15% of the children have special needs, inclusion is transforming lives. Take five-year-old Yuxin, who with the support of her teachers and classmates, is discovering her love for art, making friends, and building confidence. Her journey shows the power of starting inclusion early. Yet globally, millions of children with disabilities remain out of school, held back by stigma and barriers. In China, only half of the five million children with disabilities are in mainstream schools. UNICEF, alongside the Ministry of Education and partners, is working to change this— by training teachers, empowering parents, and fostering inclusive classrooms. When we invest in inclusion, we unlock endless potential—for children and for communities. 💙 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/ekesPGnw  #IDPD Megan Tucker Bunly Meas

Asia is not often associated with the practice of female genital mutilation. And yet, over 80 million girls in Asia have endured this devastating practice. Each of these lives is a life marred by the physical and psychological damage caused by FGM. 💔 The shroud of secrecy on this devastating practice must be lifted. Every girl deserves to live without fear and free from violence.  #Act16Days #16Days2024 #EndFGM #HerVoiceMatters  Shreyasi Jha Younghwa Choi Ticiana Garcia-Tapia
