UN Expert Calls for More Action to Protect Children

Children face growing dangers. A UN expert says countries must do more to protect them.

A UN expert says the world is not moving fast enough to stop violence against children. Almost 45 million children have left their homes because of war, natural disasters, and a changing climate. One in five children lives in very deep poverty.
