UNESCO figures show that 2023 has been a particularly deadly year for journalists who work in conflict zones, with killings almost doubling compared to the past three years. The last three months of this year in particular have already been the deadliest quarter for journalists in conflict zones since at least 2007, with 27 deaths.

#ClimateChange is sinking the future of millions of children.

Bullying impacts mental health. It can have serious & long-lasting impacts on students' mental health, school performance & future.

To guarantee the #RightToEducation, there must be no place for fear! https://on.unesco.org/3yQQRRz #StopBullying

In the last 10 years, hundreds of journalists have been killed worldwide.

Most cases remain unresolved.

Forgetting about them is letting impunity win.

Say their name out & loud. Remember them.

The time to #EndImpunity for Crimes against Journalists is now!
