VICTORY CHILD EMPOWERMENT

VCE joins other partners, stakeholders, and government towards zero tolerance towards FGM. This year's theme is "Stepping up the pace: Strengthening alliances and building movements to end FGM". It calls for collaboration and partnership to achieve this. It urges girls, boys, men, women, youth, survivors, communities, and governmental and non-governmental organizations and sectors to take action. By joining forces, these diverse actors form a united global movement working to dismantle harmful norms and ensure a future free from FGM. Female genital mutilation violates fundamental human rights and can result in complications from detrimental physical and psychological as well as social and economic impacts lasting throughout childhood, reproductive years, and old age. Today, over 230 million girls and women worldwide are FGM survivors. The stakes are high: an estimated 27 million additional girls are at risk of undergoing FGM in the next five years. In 2025 alone, nearly 4.4 million girls are projected to be at risk. To prevent such needless suffering, we must invest in resources, foster open discussions, and challenge the social norms that perpetuate FGM. As agents of change, everyone has a role in ensuring girls grow up free from this harmful practice. WezaCare Solutions Family for Every Child Family Care Network, Inc.

We join the rest of the World in Celebrating the International Day Of Education 2025. This year marks the seventh year of the celebration with the theme 'AI and education: Preserving human agency in a world of automation. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to address some of the biggest challenges in education today, innovate teaching and learning practices, and accelerate progress towards SDG 4. However, rapid technological developments inevitably bring multiple risks and challenges, which have so far outpaced policy debates and regulatory frameworks. The human agency and face must be in the picture to promote real learning. #AIEducation2025 #HumanAgencyInAI #AIforLearning #EducationForAll #SDG4Progress #InnovateWithAI #AIandHumanity #FutureOfLearning #TechAndEducation #HumanFaceInAI #AIForBetterEducation #LearningInTheAgeOfAI #EdTechInnovation #AIInEducation2025
