🎯 Europe cannot afford to ignore child poverty. Millions of our children live in poverty. It costs us over 3% of our GDP each year.
Honoured to host at the @europarl the high-level conference on ending child poverty, together with @SaveChildrenEU & @salvaticopiiiro, launching the 2025 report.

@SaveChildrenEU launched “Child Poverty: The Price Europe Can’t Afford.”
📊 In Kosovo, 1 in 5 children lives in poverty, 1 in 10 in extreme poverty.
Only 4.8% of kids aged 0–4 in early education.
Roma, Ashkali & Egyptian children face the deepest inequalities.

Children across Europe are proving their voices matter. At #HotAndHappening Week in Brussels, they campaigned, met EU leaders & brought ideas to Parliament. Now, their demands are shaping European policy. See how children are leading change across Europe.

What we are witnessing on the ground is consistent with UN findings that a genocide is being committed in Gaza.
This moment demands decisive action. The Government of Israel must be compelled to stop atrocity crimes.
Symbolic gestures & half-measures do not protect children.

Children must be at the centre of our policies — and that starts by listening.
At today’s General Assembly of the Child Participation Platform, I heard directly from young voices helping shape the EU’s work on rights, well-being, and inclusion.
Their ideas are smart, ambitious, and deeply human — just like the future we’re building together.

🇪🇺 La UE ha dado por fin un paso frente a las acciones del Gobierno de Israel en #Gaza y para proteger a la infancia. Pero debe ir más allá y suspender el Acuerdo de Asociación UE-Israel.

Globally, 85 million children are out of school. In fragile and conflict-affected settings, education systems are being pushed to the brink. Education is a fundamental right—and that right doesn't stop during emergencies. In fact, it becomes lifesaving #EHF2025

930,000 children - 93% of #Gaza’s kids are facing famine.
Nothing has been allowed to enter Gaza since the 2nd March.
We have food & aid but what we don’t have is access🚫
Trucks loaded with food are rotting at the border - this is a deliberate humanitarian catastrophe⚠️

❌Weekly massacres.
❌Detaining, imprisoning & killing children.
❌Airstrikes on refugee camps.
This isn't normal. The world mustn't accept the unacceptable.

3 years ago, a full-scale war in Ukraine changed the lives of 7.5 million children forever.
Entire childhoods have been ripped away. The future remains uncertain but what is clear is that it is children who are suffering the most in this brutal war.
