Around the world, children are growing up with war and being exposed to situations no child should have to experience. On #InternationalDayofPeace, we call for an end to violence and for children to have the right to live in peace, with hope for the future. Let’s #InvestInPeace for every child.

Reconciliation Week honours the strength, culture and contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, and this year's theme is a powerful call for all Australians to commit to reconciliation. This week, and every week, let's go ‘all in’ on reconciliation. #NRW2026

Since 28 February, more than 1,100 children have been reported injured or killed in the violence. Nothing justifies the killing and maiming of children, or the destruction and disruption of essential services that they depend on. Read our full statement: unicef.au/3OY7Koy

Four years ago, children in Ukraine went from playing with friends at school to hiding in shelters. Since February 2022, more than 3,200 children have been killed or injured. Children in Ukraine deserve to grow up without the shadow of war. Above all, they deserve peace.

For many Australians, 26 January is a day of celebration. But for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, it can also be a day of mourning and loss. Today, and every day, we pay our respects to the Traditional Owners of the land on which we live and work. #AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe

We’re proud to team up with the Sydney Sixers in a new 3-year partnership supporting vulnerable children around the world. Sport brings joy to millions — yet many children lack safe spaces, education or even clean water. Together, we’re working to change that so every child can learn, grow and play.

We are deeply shocked and saddened by the horrific attack in Bondi last night. No child should feel unsafe because of who they are, their faith or their background. We stand with the Jewish community, and our thoughts are with the children, families and community impacted.

Today’s ceasefire announcement is a fragile but vital glimmer of hope – for the children of Gaza, and for the hostages and their families in Israel. Once in place, it must open the way for full humanitarian access and mark the first step on a long road toward recovery and peace.

Humanitarian workers bring food, water, health care & hope to children in conflict. Too often, they pay with their lives. UNICEF Australia welcomes the Australian Government’s leadership in launching the Declaration for the Protection of Humanitarian Personnel at the UN yesterday. #NotATarget

All around the world, children are growing up in war and conflict. Children and young people are caught in the crossfire, exposed to trauma and unable to access essential services like health care and education. No matter who they are or where they live, every child deserves peace.

There has never been a more dangerous time to be a humanitarian worker – with over 400 aid workers killed, kidnapped or injured in 2025 alone. We honour those who have lost their lives and recognise the strength it takes to keep showing up for children and communities in crisis, no matter what. #WHD

Working alongside local partners, we’re driving the inclusion of STEM teaching and learning in Thailand’s education system. We’re making sure that schools have the resources they need to support students and give them the tools they need to take charge of their own learning.

Every child deserves the best start to life. For us, that means supporting parents during pregnancy and in the immediate aftermath of birth, so that mums and bubs are as healthy as possible – just like this happy new mum in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia.

While others are forced to leave, UNICEF will stay. For more than 40 years, UNICEF has been in Gaza and the West Bank, protecting children and delivering lifesaving support. And we will not stop now. Through conflict, crisis, and uncertainty - we will stay and deliver #ForEveryChild.

As violence returns to Gaza, children’s lives are once again in extreme danger. This war has cost the lives of tens of thousands of children, and last night at least another 130 were reportedly killed - the largest single-day child death toll in the last year.

Last year, Viet Nam's severe drought meant that children like Khang were forced to travel long distances to access clean water. We’re supporting communities with climate-resilient solutions so that every child can grow, learn, and thrive.

UNICEF Australia is shocked and horrified, we condemn the attack on a childcare centre in Sydney last night. It's a stark reminder that schools, childcare centres and learning spaces should always be safe, welcoming places where children can feel secure and supported, free from harm or hate.

2024 is the hottest year ever recorded - a child turning 10 this year has lived through the 10 hottest years on record. That's why we’ve signed the #DutyOfCareOpenLetter, urging leaders to protect children from climate harm and include their voices in decisions shaping their future.

For children, playing is how they make sense of the world around them. That’s why play-based learning is so crucial – not only for their skills but their emotional health too. Our early learning programs ensure that every child can learn and grow in whatever way suits them best.
