For the past months, life has drastically changed across the globe due to the spread of the Coronavirus Pandemic. Across the globe people are banding together against the virus. Yet, even as the spread of the virus slows in some countries, its social toll will come fast and hard. And in many places, it will come at the expense of the most vulnerable children.
Despite this change to our daily lives, this Awareness Wednesday, UNICEF would like to remind that global action is taken to:
1. Keep Children Healthy
2. Reach Vulnerable children with water, sanitation and hygiene
3. Keep Children Learning
4. Support families to cover their needs and care for their children
5. Protect children from violence, exploitation and abuse
6. Protect refugee and migrant children, and those affected by conflict
What is UNICEF doing?
Our response to the coronavirus disease must build a better future for every child. Across the globe, UNICEF is working with communities, governments and partners to slow the spread of COVID-19 and minimize the social and economic impacts on children and their families.
