We have joined over 80 UK organisations to write an open letter to the Prime Minister calling on the government to increase – not cut – UK international climate finance.
Acting on climate change is in everyone’s interest, it is about creating better and fairer lives for everyone.
We are deeply alarmed by the escalating military conflict in Iran and across the Middle East.
The killing and maiming of children are grave violations of children’s rights and of international law.
Children must be protected at all times. Children should never be targets.

Four years of conflict are exacting an emotional toll on its youngest survivors.
Ukraine is facing a ticking time bomb when it comes to children’s mental health. Years of fear, displacement and relentless violence are shaping this generation and generations to come.

We've joined close to 100 charities condemning the ‘devastating’ impact of last year's UK aid cuts. Undeniable proof shows that women and girls suffer the most when aid budgets are cut. The UK must stand up for the futures of women and girls around the world.

This impact will be reflected across all aid budgets including humanitarian responses. As of Feb last year, humanitarian assistance accounts for only 30p of every £100 of public spending, the lowest level in 25 years.
The cost of this is more children going without healthcare, food, and protection.
It’s deeply worrying to see misogynistic narratives go unchallenged on one of the country’s most popular podcasts.
This content taps into very real fears and anxieties that boys and men may experience, then twist them to push misogynistic ideas that ignore the challenges women face.
Just 1 in 10 girls told us they feel completely safe online.
It is up to social media companies to take action in tackling gender-based violence online.
We won’t be posting on X anymore, but we will continue to stand up for girls’ rights everywhere else, including here!
Happy birthday to our Patron, The Duchess of Edinburgh
@royalfamily.bsky.social
Her Royal Highness became our Patron after visiting the Chad-Sudan border to meet young women and girls.
We look forward to continuing our work with The Duchess to drive forward equality for girls around the world.
The humanitarian situation in #Gaza remains critical for children and all civilians, including pregnant women and babies.
Malnutrition and a lack of access to healthcare resources has resulted in a surge of preventable deaths.
Aid is urgently needed.

Violence and harassment are shrinking girls’ worlds, and boys are being pushed towards divisive content and misogynistic influencers at alarming rates.
Tackling gender-based violence requires addressing all pieces of the puzzle, including educating boys.
We welcome the focus on preventing the radicalisation of boys and young men in the UK Govt’s violence against women and girls strategy.
Let’s bring boys into the conversation and help support them in rejecting these harmful messages and gender norms.

Emergency contraception is now free in the UK!👏
This is a huge win for girls and women across the country who will now have the power to make decisions about their future.
Access to contraception is vital to allow girls and women control over their own bodies and lives. metro.co.uk/2025/10/29/e...
Yesterday a category 5 hurricane with 120mph winds hit Jamaica and continues to cause devastation across the region.
We are monitoring the situation in the countries we work in, and while the scale of impact is unclear, our thoughts are with the children and families affected. 💙
An estimated 130,000 children and their families are trapped in El Fasher, Sudan where fighting has escalated.
The suffering is devastating. People are enduring unimaginable conditions. Action must be taken to protect civilians & allow safe humanitarian access.
#KeepEyesOnSudan
Girls won't be forced back in time!⏰🙅♀️
They won't stand by as their rights are rewound, progress is paused and their voices are silenced.
The clocks may be going back this weekend, but we won't clock out of the fight for girls' rights!
Are you with us? bit.ly/4nnCElN
This #DayOfTheGirl we're calling out misogyny and the idea that gender equality has gone 'too far'.
Girls' rights are under attack. Every day, everywhere. We must guard what's been won and demand what's still missing. Until we are all equal! 🙌
A ceasefire brings long overdue hope for Gaza’s children but the crisis is far from over.
After 2 years of relentless suffering, children in #Gaza have heard too many broken promises.
Only a permanent ceasefire and access to aid can truly protect them.

At #UNGA’s Beijing+30 event, @YvetteCooperMP stated: “Violence against women and girls is an international emergency.”
The UK must act:
🔹 Protect funding for gender equality & tackling violence
🔹 Ensure aid & policy advance girls’ rights
🔹 Champion girls’ rights worldwide
#GirlsRights can’t wait.
This decision is an important step towards ensuring every Palestinian child has their rights protected and that Palestinians will have more freedom to decide their own destiny.
However, as the humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to worsen, state recognition is not nearly enough.
The UN Commission of Inquiry has found that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
No child should understand the word 'genocide' like this. No child should experience these horrors.
This cannot continue. Urgent action is needed now.
#CeasefireNOW
Aid cuts are placing thousands more girls and women at risk of death, with an expected 16 million more unintended pregnancies robbing women and girls of their futures.
Contraception and sexual and reproductive services save girls’ lives. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

2 years of air strikes have robbed Gaza's children of their education.
97% of educational facilities have been damaged and for many Gaza students, learning has been replaced by desperate search for food.
We refuse to stand by while futures are destroyed.

An 8.8 magnitude earthquake, one of the strongest in modern history, has triggered tsunami warnings across the Pacific.
We are closely monitoring the situation, and while the scale of impact and damage is still unclear, our thoughts are with the children and families affected by this. 💙
Nearly every single child in #Gaza is at risk of famine after being cut off from food.
A window to provide life-saving aid has opened. We are ready to deliver supplies but we urgently need more to reach as many children as we can.

Children in Gaza need urgent action.
Israel is deliberately starving families and blocking life-saving aid.
The world cannot let the weaponisation of hunger go on.
We demand an immediate ceasefire and the end of Israel’s illegal blockade.

The world cannot let this weaponisation of hunger go on. It's time for immediate action from governments and world leaders.
We demand an immediate ceasefire, the lifting of Israel’s illegal blockade and an end to all UK arms sales and weapons parts to Israel.
Every day more children in Gaza are dying of malnutrition.
While the world watches, Israel continues to deliberately starve children.
The weaponisation of hunger cannot go on.
We demand an immediate ceasefire and the end of Israel’s illegal blockade.

Today’s statement sends a long-overdue message that Israel’s crimes against children and their families in Gaza must end immediately.
But the UK government is still complicit and must #StopArmingIsrael now.
Israel must be held accountable for its crimes. #CeasefireNOW
