Even in supposedly \u201cnormal,\u201d stable, and peaceful settings, children confront a silent emergency of extreme poverty, inequality, abuse, and exploitation, some of it in the name of religion. Gender-based discrimination, especially affecting girls, or harmful traditional practices such as the continuing prevalence of child marriage and female genital mutilation and cutting are examples of harmful practices that faith communities have a special role in preventing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The GNRC Sixth Forum takes place as children around the world are facing infringement of their basic rights on multiple fronts. Over 460 million children are living in conflict zones.<\/a> They face not only imminent danger to their lives, but also a highly uncertain future with the trust between them and the systems that should nurture them at breaking point or having broken already.<\/p>

Additionally, ongoing energy, food, economic and climate crises are posing unprecedented challenges for children. With 47 percent of children already severely deprived before COVID-19, the pandemic pushed an additional 150 million children<\/a> into multidimensional poverty. Alongside this, the number of displaced children is at a historic high. According to UNICEF, at the end of 2022, 43.3 million children<\/a> had been displaced due to violent conflict and poverty-triggered migrations. By January 2024, that number had grown dramatically to 51.2 million<\/a> \u2014 the steepest rise ever seen in one year due to the sharp increase of new conflicts and intensification of existing wars.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Despite these extremely concerning trends, hope is still the right choice, the only choice, and a credible choice. We live in a time of great innovation and advancement. By leveraging these advancements, fostering dialogue and cooperation between faiths and across generations, and joining hands to address the evils of our age, we not only can but must rebuild trust and repair broken pathways to forge a safe, secure, and sustainable world.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The primary objective of the Forum is to bring together GNRC members, diverse religious leaders, children, youth, policymakers, academics, representatives from child-focused NGOs, and members of faith communities to deliberate, collaborate, exchange best practices, and forge new action commitments to address global issues concerning children.<\/p>
