Kids need UNICEF now more than ever:
- Globally, estimates suggest that there are at least 93 million children with disabilities, but numbers could be much higher. COVID-19 and the socio-economic crisis it has fueled have marginalized them further, exposing them to greater risk
- An estimated 36 million children — more than ever before — have been displaced due to conflict, violence and disaster. They are full of potential and hope but lack opportunities to realize them
- At the COVID-19 pandemic’s peak, around 1.8 billion children lived in countries where violence prevention and response services were disrupted
- Children and young people, including those who live in countries most vulnerable to climate change, need to have a meaningful say in the environmental and climate policies determining the fate of their planet
- School closures at the pandemic's height affected up to 94 percent of students worldwide, with at least one-third left with no way to learn remotely
- 10 million more child marriages are predicted stemming from COVID-19 stay-at-home orders, poverty and disrupted prevention programs as families marry off their teen daughters to relieve economic duress

UNICEF-supported peace clubs in the Democratic Republic of Congo give kids raised in conflict the chance to forge bonds across interethnic divisions. One student leader says he joined because his friends were victims of violence: “We sensitize the community on peaceful cohabitation because our village had known war. Today, thanks to our work, we live and eat together."
