UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell visited Vanuatu and Fiji between 15-19 July 2024 to advocate for the rights of all children, especially the most vulnerable.
During her visit she met with children, young people, stakeholders, government officials and church leaders to see firsthand how children in the Pacific have borne the brunt of the COVID-19 and climate crisis, with many left behind due to increasing pressures on limited resources and services.
