🚨 In crises, children face conflict, hunger, displacement. Yet, nearly 50% of child protection programmes have lost over 40% of their funding. Cutting these services doesn’t save money, it shifts the burden onto children. Read the full article: bit.ly/VOICEoutLoud41

🗨️ What makes humanitarian action possible? For Caritas, the answer is clear: lasting peace. Humanitarian action can help people survive crises, but they need more than emergency assistance. Lasting peace would allow us to unite forces to address the many other challenges they face.

"Send them back" chants in the European Parliament are unacceptable. With 64 civil society organisations, we're calling on President Roberta Metsola to condemn the growing normalisation of racist, anti-migrant and anti-LGBTI rhetoric in Parliament. Zero tolerance for hate speech.

How can the humanitarian system reach those in need if funding does not keep pace with growing crises? Funding needs to be predictable, needs-based, and protected from diversion. Because behind the numbers are real people with real needs.
