Only 9% of girls and young women we spoke to say they feel completely safe online. This week, juries ruled that social media platforms can be held accountable for harming children. This is a good start but real change will take time to build a smarter, safer design to make the online world safer.

Hospitals must never be a target. On Saturday, 64 people, including 13 children, were reportedly killed when a drone strike hit a major hospital in East Darfur, Sudan. This appalling attack on innocent civilians and medical personnel is just the latest horror in Sudanâs conflict.

Last night the House of Lords voted to update an archaic law created more than 100 years ago that creates fear and confusion for women at moments when compassion is needed most. We are happy that the Lords decided to pass this law through to the next stage towards decriminalising abortion.

We are deeply alarmed by the escalating military conflict in Iran and across the Middle East. The killing and maiming of children are grave violations of childrenâs rights and of international law. Children must be protected at all times. Children should never be targets.

Four years of conflict are exacting an emotional toll on its youngest survivors. Ukraine is facing a ticking time bomb when it comes to childrenâs mental health. Years of fear, displacement and relentless violence are shaping this generation and generations to come. âĄď¸

This impact will be reflected across all aid budgets including humanitarian responses. As of Feb last year, humanitarian assistance accounts for only 30p of every ÂŁ100 of public spending, the lowest level in 25 years. The cost of this is more children going without healthcare, food, and protection.

Itâs deeply worrying to see misogynistic narratives go unchallenged on one of the countryâs most popular podcasts. This content taps into very real fears and anxieties that boys and men may experience, then twist them to push misogynistic ideas that ignore the challenges women face.
