A privilege to watch @JosephAtick deliver to @ID4Africa one of the best presentations on #digitalidentity I have ever seen, laying out the opportunities and, importantly the risks, of decentralized identity and technologies like #AI and facial recognition. #id4d #g2px

We want to achieve universal #birthregistration by 2030. Yet 40% of Africa’s unregistered children are in the Eastern region. Urgent efforts needed to increase birth registration among the poorest children. Read latest @UNICEFData report to learn more: bit.ly/3gCYRzt

Really proud to have launched the UNFPA-UNICEF Joint Programme 2021 Annual Report today! The take home for me is that together with our partners, we ARE making a difference in the lives of girls and their communities! Happy reading! @GPtoEndFGM unicef.org/documents/deliver…
Violence against children is preventable.
#ChildProtection is the right of all children.
Making sure no childhood is marked by violence is a possibility and an obligation.
I nominate @NankaliM and @VerenaKnaus to join the campaign.
#ForEveryChild #KoreaZtogether
When we stand together, we can put an end to all forms of violence against children. No child should have to see any form of violence. Each of us has a role to play.
I nominate @CarlaUNICEF @JuneUNICEF @cornwilliams14
