 The world is facing a global child rights crisis. More children than ever are experienced violence in all settings. More children than ever are being killed, forcibly displaced, fleeing conflict, climate change, and natural disaster, widespread violence, food insecurity. More children than ever are facing extreme poverty, discrimination, and social exclusion. More children than ever are deprived of liberty. No country is immune and no child is immune. In child protection and well-being cannot wait. In my role as special representative of the Secretary General on violence against children, I pledge to continue mobilizing all stakeholders at all levels to put an end to all forms of violence against children in all settings leaving no child behind. Supporting states to invest in child-sensitive services that are accessible to all children independently of their status. Ending the deprivation of liberty of children. Promoting and defending child-human rights and environmental defenders. Amplifying the voices and initiatives of children and making visible the most forgotten.
