“The crisis is worse now than anytime in my lifetime working in Somalia for the last 20 years, and it is because of the compounded effect of the war in Ukraine,” said Mohamud Mohamed Hassan, Somalia country director for Save the Children.

Today SCOTUS ruled that @POTUS can finally terminate the Remain In Mexico policy. This is an important win for migrant children & families, but it's only the first step in our fight for a more humane & just system that ensures asylum seekers are treated with dignity & respect.

“I’d like to say to all LGBTQ+ people: Be yourself, and the world will catch up. It will take time but we will get there.”
Meen, 21, Thailand (She/Her)
"Teaching children about LBGTQ+ is very important, because they need to learn about diversity and
respect. It also encourages children and young people to stop hiding and to feel safe to come out."
Sangsa, 18, Thailand (She/Her)
“I hope that there will be a day in the future when our country leaders are LGBTQ+, not just only men or
women. I believe it is very important to have LGBTIQ+ representation among our decision makers."
Buay, 15, Thailand (They/Them)
“I know many LGBTQ+ people who are very capable of doing a lot of things, but their opportunities are
limited because of the discrimination against their sexual orientation or identities. I hope that the discrimination will end."
Dada, 21, Thailand (She/Her)
“I hope that one day all LGBTQ+ children and youth can become whoever they want to be without living in fear of discrimination.”
Around the world, we support LGBTQ+ children who speak out against the discrimination, persecution and violence they face.
To mark #PrideMonth, we asked LGBTQ+ activists about their hopes for the future. 👇🧵

All children have the right to live in a world free from violence and fear. But gun violence continues to put children's rights at risk.
More must be done to protect kids across America.
We're urging Congress to quickly pass the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act.
We are deeply saddened by the deadly impact of today’s #earthquake in eastern #Afghanistan. We’re closely monitoring the situation and have teams on standby to deploy if extra support is needed. bit.ly/3ybg4Gr
🧵@SavetheChildrenn's founder Eglantyne Jebb famously said, "Humanity owes the child the best it has to give."
But it's clear that the world is not giving its best.

“I advise the children from Ukraine to forget about all the challenges they have faced … playing football, netball, and drawing or painting helps me forget about the past.”
-Daniel, 16, Uganda
What is your message of hope to refugee children around the world?
Comment below ⤵️
“Do not be afraid, believe in yourself. I have been through this; I can feel what is going through you. We should keep hope alive and try to be positive.”
-Fatima, 14, Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh
“[Refugees from Ukraine] need support, and education and to have better prospects, like playing sports, and whatever they need to forget about their past and to hope for a better future.”
-Ghaith, 18, Za'atari refugee camp, Jordan
Half of all refugees are children — many uprooted by violence, witnessing things no child should ever see.
This #WorldRefugeeDay, we spoke with child refugees from Syria, Myanmar, and South Sudan who offered messages of hope to children fleeing conflict in Ukraine.

We work with fathers around the world to overcome a variety of challenges so they can help their children reach their full potential. ❤️

Many refugee children have known nothing but war, deprivation and fear.
Children like 12-year-old Provy, often struggle to find basic essentials.

We helped get Jemima back in the classroom, eager to learn.
A child's right to education doesn't stop in times of crisis.
Children like 12-year-old Yaseen deserve to be:
