Children around the world have big dreams. But now they are facing an enormous hurdle to achieve their dreams: the COVID-19 pandemic. This pandemic has disrupted every part of life. But for girls in particular, there’s even more at stake.
Right now, in conflicts across the world, children are living through unspeakable violence with devastating and life-changing consequences. Bombed, shot, starved – children’s homes and schools have become a battlefield. No child should go through this.
It is a fact that childhood stunting is virtually irreversible. I saw this first hand when I visited Save the Children’s programs in Bangladesh last year.
