UNICEF urges Security Council action on child protection

UNICEF has called on the Security Council to take urgent action to protect children in conflict zones. Their reports document more than 38,558 serious violations against children in 2025, including killings, mutilations, recruitment, abductions, and use in sexual violence. They emphasized that children are increasingly suffering from attacks on schools and hospitals, and that many violations go unreported due to insecurity and restrictions. UNICEF warned of the growing responsibility of government forces for violations against children, and stressed the importance of ending attacks on education and protecting humanitarian workers.
