On World Children’s Day, Oliver Farry is pleased to welcome Cécile Aptel, Author and Deputy Director of UNICEF’s Global Office of Research and Forecasting. UNICEF is offering a sobering reminder: national and global policies too often leave the world’s most vulnerable in the shadows. In a world of progress and innovation, 417 million children in low- and middle-income countries are still denied the most basic necessities: clean water, healthcare, education, nutrition. And even in a high-income country like France, official figures show that 2.76 million children live in poverty: one tenth of France’s child population. Putting an end to child poverty requires political will and social commitment and to decide, collectively, that children’s well-being is non-negotiable.
