This #WorldChildrensDay put children at the centre through powerful child-led townhalls in Chennai. More than 150 children — including children with disabilities — engaged political, corporate, and faith leaders on advancing child rights. MLA Aasan Maulana advocated for child consultations in legislation, while Shankar Venugopal of Mahindra Group expressed the private sector's willingness to adopt child-friendly practices. Faith leaders reiterated their commitment to safeguarding and promoting children's rights. The event reinforced the need to institutionalise child participation and aligned strongly with UNICEF India’s campaign #TheChildInMe: My Promise to Children — building momentum for sustained cross-sector action in 20.

Investing in health, education, and protection #ForEveryChild advances our promise to children’s rights. Putting children first in policies, programmes, and budgets delivers the highest return for the future. Ending child poverty is within reach. #Vision2047 #SOWC2025 https://lnkd.in/gzeP38ip

Every child deserves a world where curiosity is not just protected, but celebrated. That is the promise we made, and the one we renew today: to kindle that same fearless spark in every child. Big dreams that reach the stars, small dreams that warm the heart—every one of them sacred, every one of them worth chasing with everything we have. #WorldChildrensDay #MyPromiseToChildren #ForEveryChild

🌎 Climate Dictionary: Term #10 – Climate Resilience To safeguard people, communities, economies, and the environment, we need climate resilience. 🔹 Climate resilience = the ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from unavoidable climate impacts. 🔹 Why it matters – strengthens societies and ecosystems against the shocks of a changing climate. 🔹 Goal – ensure wellbeing, stability, and sustainable development despite climate challenges. 🌱 Building resilience today is how we protect tomorrow.

As part of Child Rights Week in Uttar Pradesh, a state-level conclave brought together police officials and child protection cadres from 75 districts to build a protective and responsive system that delivers justice for children. The conclave was organized under the aegis of the Govt. of Uttar Pradesh, High Court Juvenile Justice Committee, the Women and Child Security Organisation, and UNICEF India.

At #RODHS2025, UNICEF India's Arjan de Wagt highlighted India's digital health leadership — from Ayushman Bharat Digital Health Blueprint to upcoming RCH 2.0 — for easing frontline workers' burden and reaching the last child. The urgent call: bridge the digital divide, boost digital literacy, and protect child data privacy — ensuring that technology works for every child.

🌱 Climate Dictionary: Term #9 – Adaptation Even if we cut emissions drastically today, climate change will continue to affect our world. That’s where adaptation comes in. 🔹 Adaptation = adjusting our communities, infrastructure, and practices to limit climate impacts. 🔹 Why it matters – protects people, nature, and livelihoods from ongoing and future climate effects. 🔹 Goal – build resilience so our planet and societies can thrive despite changes. 🌍 Adaptation is how we live with climate change while keeping our future safe.
