For five years now, Afghanistan is the only country in the world to formally prohibit access to education for girls and women beyond the primary level.
As of 2026, an estimated 2.4 million girls remain excluded from secondary education.
UNESCO condemns discriminations against women and girls and calls for the immediate and unconditional restoration of their right to education.

A devastating reconstruction of an atrocity in Gaza, built from the real emergency calls of a child whose voice refuses to be silenced. A fundamental film for our times. #TheVoiceofHindRajab opens in select theaters December 17.
I’m honored to stand behind this film.

Winter in Gaza has worsened living conditions for children like Besain, 4.
Besain’s mother, Doaa, has been doing everything possible to keep her children protected.
UNICEF is supporting families like theirs by providing essential winter clothing and shelter supplies.

De vandaag aangekondigde bezuinigingen op meerdere posten van het budget @MinBZ en #Ontwikkelingshulp betreuren we.
❗️ Met de voorgenomen bezuiniging van 75% verwacht UNICEF minder #kinderen wereldwijd hulp te kunnen bieden.
