Women Informal Workers Child Care Campaign
Извор: WUNRN – 10.10.2017
Women informal workers across the world are calling for quality public child care services. Having a young child to look after reduces women's working hours and lowers their earnings at a time in their lives when they need this money most. Their low incomes and poor working conditions on public streets and markets, in waste dumps, and in their own home or their employer's home, are not safe spaces for their infants and toddlers.

2017 Campaign - 2017 Theme Announcement & Take Action Kit
"FROM PEACE IN THE HOME TO PEACE IN THE WORLD: MAKE EDUCATION SAFE FOR ALL!"

This theme recognizes that structural discrimination and inequality is perpetuated in a cycle of violence that does not end even when girls and young women are in the act of gaining an education.

Millions of Children Caught in Conflict, Victims & Targets of Despicable Harm
New York, 5 October 2017 – Boys and girls living in countries affected by armed conflict have been victims of widespread violations in 2016, as documented in the Secretary-General’s Annual Report on Children and Armed Conflict released today and covering the period from January to December 2016.
The alarming scale and severity of violations against children in 2016 – including shocking levels of killing and maiming, recruitment and use and denial of humanitarian access – is a serious concern for the Secretary-General.
“The tragic fate of child victims of conflict cannot and must not leave us unmoved; a child killed, recruited as a soldier, injured in an attack or prevented from going school due to a conflict is already one too many,” the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, Ms. Virginia Gamba, said.
