We are deeply concerned by the alarming rise in racist and Islamophobic violence across the UK. This surge will have a particularly troubling impact on children, including many from migrant and refugee backgrounds - many of whom have already faced significant trauma. As a charity dedicated to protecting children worldwide, we see how hate and far-right rhetoric endanger the well-being of all children, particularly those in vulnerable communities. We are horrified to witness this hatred spreading on the streets of the United Kingdom. We stand with all those affected by this violence and discrimination and stay united against racism and violence. We urge political leaders to speak out against divisive narratives that threaten the safety and futures of children and communities across this country and beyond. #StandAgainstHate #ProtectChildren #EndRacism

Today, we honor the countless innocent children around the world who suffer as a result of conflict and violence. This day is a stark reminder of the harsh realities faced by the youngest and most vulnerable members of our global community. Children should be nurtured, educated, and loved, not subjected to the horrors of aggression and war. They are our future, and it's our collective responsibility to protect them. 🔹 Why This Matters: Awareness: Highlight the plights faced by children in war-torn regions. Action: Encourage global and local initiatives aimed at protecting and supporting these children. Advocacy: Push for stronger international policies and humanitarian aid. 🔹 How You Can Help: Educate Yourself and Others: Share information and stories about the impact of conflict on children. Support Organizations: Donate to or volunteer with organizations dedicated to helping child victims of aggression. Advocate for Change: Use your voice to support policies that protect children and provide them with the resources they need to heal and thrive. Every child deserves a chance to grow up in a safe and nurturing environment. Let's stand together and commit to making a difference. #EndViolence #ProtectChildren #GlobalResponsibility #childrights DivIn Pro Dr Juhi M Garg
