SearchClose SEARCH UNICEF Fulltext search Max UNICEF/UNI471652/Rabik Upadhayay Page 2023 IN REVIEW A MESSAGE FROM UNICEF’S EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ON A NEW YEAR AND NEW HOPE FOR CHILDREN Available in: English Français Español العربية 中文 русский -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From conflicts to climate change, this year provided more proof that children increasingly live in a world hostile to their rights. Yet UNICEF continued to deliver for children and young people, with a staff of over 17,000 working across more than 190 countries and territories. In advance of our Annual Report to be released in May, we are sharing a message from our Executive Director, reflections from youth advocates around the world, along with photos and a collection of stories that highlight our impact and reach for every child. As we move into 2024, we reaffirm our commitment for the fulfillment and protection of child rights. A NEW YEAR AND NEW HOPE FOR CHILDREN by UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell With the new year fast approaching, I find myself thinking a lot about the concept of hope – both the power of having it and the despair that can consume us when it is gone. Hope can drive us forward in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges. It can be all that stops us from giving in to doubt and insecurity. And on a base level, hope can be the one thing that helps us as human beings to survive against even the longest of odds. > Hope is the foundation on which the organization I lead, UNICEF, has been > built. It is the hope that we can create a world in which the rights and > well-being of this and future generations of children are protected and > upheld. And hope is what fuels our optimism that this mission can be > achieved. But while hope is tremendously powerful, it can also be fragile, especially when it crashes up against the harshest realities our world has to offer. And this year has been especially brutal for children across the globe. Blocks UNICEF/UNI470988/ We estimate, for example, that nearly a quarter of the world’s children are living in or fleeing from conflict zones. This includes protracted conflicts like those in Burkina Faso, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ukraine and Yemen, which have unleashed waves of child rights violations and years of suffering. But 2023 also saw the rise of new conflicts. Violence between armed forces and groups in Sudan has driven at least 6 million people from their homes, more than half of whom are children, making it the largest child displacement crisis globally. Meanwhile, Gaza has become the most dangerous place in the world for children, with nearly 6,000 killed in less than three months of war. Behind each of these numbers is a story of unimaginable child suffering, of rights violated and rights denied. I have met some of these children during my travels with UNICEF. Children like Fatima – a 16-year-old girl who I visited with recently in a hospital ward in Gaza. She was badly injured when her neighborhood was bombed in October, and the doctors have told her she will never walk again. The suffering of these children is an indictment of a world that has failed to protect them from the dangers of war. Making matters worse, in 2023, these new and protracted conflicts have coincided with other devastating crises. These include disasters like the catastrophic flooding in Libya or the earthquakes in Afghanistan and Morocco, disease outbreaks like the cholera epidemic in Haiti and food insecurity such as that experienced in the Horn of Africa. Climate change also continued to wreak havoc on young lives this year by causing severe droughts, heatwaves and more intense storms. Of course, such crises do not occur in a vacuum. Each has the potential to amplify the impacts of the others, exacting ever greater tolls on children and the systems they rely on. The consequences of this are plain to see: * The number of children living in multidimensional poverty has increased by 15 per cent to 1.2 billion globally in just the last three years * Nearly 600 million children are not meeting minimum reading standards * 35 million children are suffering from wasting * Each day, nearly 14,000 children under the age of five are dying from largely preventable causes like diarrhoeal diseases and malaria These are dark times, especially for children, which have left hope in short supply for many of us. But as Dr. Martin Luther King said, “I know, somehow, that only when it is dark enough can you see the stars.” I believe this to be true. I believe that if we look hard enough, we can see the stars. We can see the signs of hope for children, showing us that we can make the world a better place for them. Blocks In the last 20 years, for example, we have seen a dramatic reduction in child malnutrition globally – this includes a decrease in the number of stunted children by 55 million, or over one-third. Child immunization rates, which fell dramatically during the COVID-19 pandemic, have rebounded with global immunization services reaching 4 million more children last year than in 2021. Meanwhile, we have reached the near universalization of children’s access to primary schooling. And just two weeks ago at COP28 in Dubai, representatives from nearly 200 countries reached a landmark agreement to transition away from fossil fuel consumption. For the first time ever, the COP recognized the unique and disproportionate impacts of climate change on children's health and well-being, proposing an ‘expert dialogue’ on this issue. Blocks UNICEF’s achievements for children in 2023 also give me hope. In humanitarian settings, this included reaching more than 23 million people with safe drinking water and vaccinating 27 million children against measles. UNICEF and our partners also provided more than 150 million children with services for the early detection and treatment of child wasting in high-risk settings. These results tell me that when we prioritize the rights and well-being of children, there is hope. And they show me that when we focus on reaching the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children – children living in poverty, children affected by conflicts, children with disabilities, and girls – we can create better conditions for all children. If this year was any guide, 2024 will not be easy and there will be more challenges ahead. But we can choose to be courageous. We can choose to make bold commitments and to take decisive actions to keep children safe. And we can invest more in the systems and services that children need for their healthy growth and development. I believe that children are the stars shining through in the night sky, and that they are our best hope for creating a better and more peaceful world. Let us be better and do more for them in 2024 and beyond. REFLECTIONS FROM YOUTH ADVOCATES ON 2023 YASMINA, 20, TAJIKISTAN THE YEAR 2023 BROUGHT NUMEROUS CONFLICTS AND CRISES THAT RESULTED IN THE DISRUPTION OF EDUCATION FOR MANY CHILDREN, PARTICULARLY GIRLS, AND IT IS CRUCIAL FOR WORLD LEADERS TO RECOGNIZE THE IMPACT OF THESE EVENTS ON THE FUTURE OF THESE CHILDREN. AS WE MOVE INTO 2024, IT IS ESSENTIAL FOR LEADERS TO WORK TOWARDS PREVENTING CONFLICTS AND PROVIDING SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN WHO HAVE BEEN AFFECTED, ENSURING THAT THEY CAN ACCESS EDUCATION AND REBUILD THEIR LIVES. MARIAM, 19, YEMEN WHAT I ASK OF THOSE IN AUTHORITY AND LEADERS IS TO MAKE PEACE. ENOUGH WARS AND ENOUGH TAMPERING WITH CHILDREN’S LIVES. LEADERS SHOULD SERIOUSLY WORK TO MAKE THE WORLD SAFER, WHICH CHILDREN DO NOT HAVE TO LEAVE IN FEAR AND SEE THEIR DREAMS BURNING IN WARS...LEADERS MUST BE OPEN AND WILLING TO LEARN AND ADAPT TO EMERGING CHALLENGES IN A RAPIDLY CHANGING WORLD. EMMANUEL, 20, TANZANIA WE’VE SEEN A NUMBER OF YOUNG PEOPLE ENGAGED THIS YEAR. BUT WE CAN STILL DO MORE IN 2024. WE NEED TO ENGAGE MORE YOUNG PEOPLE – INCLUDING CHILDREN – IN OUR AREAS OF WORK. INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTIONS AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS NEED TO ENGAGE MORE YOUNG PEOPLE AND DEVELOP PLATFORMS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE TO COME AND SHARE THEIR PERSPECTIVES...PEACE IS SOMETHING THAT EVERY CHILD DESIRES. MAKHTOM, 20, SUDAN [IN 2023] I AM VERY HAPPY THAT I COULD CONVEY THE VOICES OF CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE OF SUDAN DURING SUCH DIFFICULT TIMES AT GLOBAL EVENTS LIKE THE UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY...NO MATTER HOW HARD IT GETS WE SHOULD NOT LOSE FAITH IN OURSELVES AND A PEACEFUL FUTURE...WORLD LEADERS SHOULD NOT FORGET THAT WE ARE ALL HUMANS AND THEREFORE WE ALL HAVE EQUAL RIGHTS. EVERY CHILD DESERVES TO BE PROTECTED AND EDUCATED REGARDLESS OF RACE, COLOR, GENDER AND RELIGION. UNICEF works to ensure that every child, including adolescents: Survives and thrives Learns and acquires skills for the future Is protected from violence, exploitation, abuse, neglect and harmful practices Has access to safe and equitable WASH services and supplies, and lives in a safe and sustainable climate and environment Has access to inclusive social protection and lives free from poverty -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These stories and photos highlight some of UNICEF’s work, impact and humanitarian action in 2023: Article COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS ARE THE HEARTBEAT OF HEALTH CARE Discover the challenges they face as they try to reach the most vulnerable children worldwide.
