School feeding programmes help keep girls in school and out of early marriage or child labour.

This improves their learning and overall health, while also empowering them to reach their full potential.

Around the globe, the World Food Programme supports millions of children through school meals.

In just minutes on 8 April, as news of a regional ceasefire agreement briefly ignited hope across the country, deadly Israeli airstrikes struck across Lebanon, reportedly killing 33 children and injuring 153.

Across the country, an estimated 390,000 children have been uprooted, many for the second, third, or even fourth time.

International humanitarian law is clear: civilians, including children, must be protected at all times.

The use of explosive weapons in densely populated areas poses a deadly threat to children and must stop.

UNICEF continues to scale up its emergency response in Lebanon, delivering medical and essential supplies to children and families affected.

Hear that? It's nature in full bloom!

We are not separate from nature, we are a part of it.

From forests to oceans, every ecosystem sustains human life and livelihoods.

Together, let's work with nature, not against it.

Saturday is the International Day of Education.

Education is a human right. Yet, in many countries, young women and girls continue to face discrimination and marginalization when it comes to accessing education.

To achieve a better future for all, we must ensure inclusive access to quality education.

Across 95 countries, 16,600 organizations are now better equipped to serve women—not by chance, but by design.

UN Women was created for this: to strengthen movements, amplify women’s leadership, and power change from the grassroots up.

Because when local organizations rise, equality advances.
