⚠ Children should NEVER be targets of war.
As violence escalates in the Middle East, Plan International echoes the UN Secretary‑General’s call for an immediate #CeaseFire & full respect for international humanitarian.
Protecting children must remain the absolute priority.
Girls and women, among them DJ Amelie Lens, are sharing their experiences with harassment, intimidation and violence. This is not a "women's problem", but a shared responsibility. Active bystanders play a crucial role — and that really is not as difficult as it seems. Only five letters to remember 👇
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐮𝐝𝐚𝐧 continues to escalate: killings, disappearances, starvation, sexual violence... Children and girls are especially at risk.
The world cannot look away. We do not look away.
Help Plan International provide aid to the population.
