FUTURES AT RISK: CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD ARE IN CRISIS

Decades of progress for children around the world is being undone. Will you join our call for action?

The systems that keep them alive – food, water, sanitation, vaccination – are cracking under the pressure of global crises.

Countries around the world- including the UK- promised to protect the rights of every child. But they’re falling short. With challenges at home, the Government has made cuts to overseas aid. But this has meant taking life-saving help away from the children who need it most.

We're calling on the UK Government to take action to save children's lives. Join us.

All children, everywhere, have the right to life-sustaining healthcare, vaccines and nourishing food.

But the systems that keep children alive are cracking under the pressure of crises around the world – wars, disease outbreaks, droughts, floods.

Food production is being disrupted by climate change and conflict, as are water supplies and sanitation systems – and we’re seeing the biggest backslide in immunisation in 30 years.

All these threats intersect: children are more likely to get ill if they don’t get their vaccines, if they live without safe water for drinking and washing, and if they’re weakened by hunger.

When they do get ill, they’re more likely to die if they’re undernourished, and if there’s no doctor or clinic nearby.

The UK Government has a crucial role to play as decisions and agreements are made this year – to push progress forward on building resilient global health systems that will withstand future shocks and uphold children’s rights. We want to see:

📈 increased funding for services that keep children alive, like immunisation and nutrition

⚕️ children’s health put first in the commitments and plans our Government makes

🌍 existing plans put into action to expand services so that every child can get the healthcare they have a right to.
