"I always wanted to study, but my parents worried because I walk with a crutch. Last year, they finally said yes,” says Umme, 11. In the Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh, UNICEF is helping make education accessible to every child, because every child has the right to learn.
🌍📚 In emergencies, children with disabilities are left without access to education. Supported by @EduCannotWait, we’re working w/ @IDA_CRPD_Forum in Niger & Colombia to: ✅ Equip OPDs to lead in emergencies ✅ Build inclusive partnerships ✅ Break barriers in humanitarian…

Crises and conflicts are rising dramatically. With global funding in decline, @UNReliefChief Fletcher and @AussenMinDE agree: We must coordinate humanitarian aid better & use it more efficiently. As one of the largest donors, 🇩🇪 supports the reform of the humanitarian system.
Every dollar invested in humanitarian and development aid creates long-term benefits and a more secure future for all. For nearly 80 years, UNICEF has remained committed to reaching the world’s most vulnerable children. In 2024, this is how we stood by them.…
@RCKKenya held a 2-day information & experience sharing workshop in Garissa with 24 County Assembly members to review the Public Participation & Civic Education Bill under #WezeshaProject, championing for inclusion of refugees &host community to strengthen democracy &empowerment.
At a UNICEF-supported nutrition centre in Khartoum, little Amina gets the help she needs. “My daughter was sick, and her body was very thin,” her mother Rasha said. “After the visits to the centre, her condition has improved.” Children in Sudan need peace for their health now.
Millions of children around the world seeking refuge are forced to do so. UNICEF is on the ground providing life-saving humanitarian aid to children and families on the move. For every refugee child and youth – safety, education and the skills to thrive. #WorldRefugeeDay

#Inclusion 🌟 The past 2 days have been productive as we trained the Nairobi County Fire&Disaster Management officials on #disabilityinclusive disaster risk reduction (DRR)—disability etiquette, social accountability&legal frameworks for an inclusive DRR @Sightsavers @IrlEmbKenya
“We must acknowledge those who are the most marginalized—those who couldn’t be here in Berlin. It is to them we are most accountable.” At the closing of #GDS2025, UN Special Rapporteur @hebahagrass calls for disability-inclusive humanitarian aid in conflict zones 🇵🇸🇺🇦🇸🇩
H.E. @bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz, Chancellor of Germany, tells #GDS2025 all international cooperation should include and be accessible to everyone, and joint action on disability rights is as urgent as ever #CommitToChange #RealImpact
@WFDeafBlind @IDA_CRPD_Forum @BMZ_Bund @HCDJORDAN The CSF closed with a powerful declaration! With the adoption of the Civil Society Declaration, OPDs and civil society stand united, calling for a future where disability inclusion is non-negotiable.
