🚀 We’re excited to announce the launch of the Global Advocacy Hub for Children and Families! 🌍 Born out of a deep commitment to creating lasting, positive change, the Global Advocacy Hub is a powerful platform dedicated to addressing the most pressing challenges faced by vulnerable children and families around the world. Our co-founders, Dana Humaid Al Marzooqi and Diana Gerson, have spent years engaged in various organizations, forums, and initiatives focused on child dignity and family well-being. Through these experiences, they recognized the need for a more unified, impactful approach—one that bridges research, grassroots advocacy, and global collaboration. This realization led to the creation of the Global Advocacy Hub for Children and Families. Our mission is clear - to unite diverse efforts and drive sustainable change by focusing on three key areas: 🌟Research & Literature Development: We aim to fill critical gaps in the literature by focusing on the specific needs of children and families. Through collaborative research and publication, we aim to inform and inspire both local and global actions. 🌟Empowerment through Evaluation: We are committed to supporting local organizations in measuring the impact of their programs. By fostering capacity building, promoting the replication of successful models, and expanding access to vital resources, we empower communities to create sustainable change. 🌟Multidisciplinary Collaboration: By bringing together academic leaders, universities, civil society, international organizations, and UN Agencies, we strive to transcend traditional silos. Our goal is to develop holistic solutions to complex community challenges, integrating diverse perspectives and expertise. The Global Advocacy Hub for Children and Families is more than just a project—it’s a movement. We are passionate about ensuring that every child and family has the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their circumstances. As we launch this initiative, we remain fully committed to our ongoing work and engagements. We believe that the synergies created by the Hub will only strengthen our efforts, enabling us to serve children and families more effectively across all our endeavors. We invite you to join us on this journey. Together, we can create a safer, healthier, and more equitable world for all.

It’s always exciting to see the work we do at the Brotherhood of St Laurence (BSL) across so many areas. This new report features more work around sustainability, which is exciting! Recently, both the BSL and my Environment studies have made me rethink how we approach measuring poverty in Australia. There is so much potential in developing broader poverty indexes that include key factors directly affecting quality of life. For example, we know that climate change impacts all Australians, with low-income households likely to be hit the hardest. It's time to incorporate this understanding into measuring what matters.

Youth empowerment is key.
