Plan International Australia today welcomes Australia’s commitment of $50million to the Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage. The loss and damage caused by climate change is completely and irrevocably reshaping the lives of communities across the Pacific region.
Plan International is providing critical assistance to communities impacted by Super Typhoon Man-Yi, known locally as Pepito, the sixth major storm to hit the Philippines in less than a month.
A new report launched today at COP29 on children and youth day, by humanitarian and girls’ rights organisation Plan International Australia and the Kiribati Climate Action Network (KiriCAN) paints a stark picture of the immense hardship adolescent girls in the Pacific are facing due to more frequent and devastating climate disasters.
The international community must urgently pressure Israel into reversing this dangerous decision by Israel’s Knesset. Gaza is already facing a man-made hunger emergency, with a real risk of famine NOW. Children are dying daily of starvation, dehydration, and related diseases. Banning UNRWA, the main organisation responsible for delivering humanitarian aid is unthinkable, and can only lead to more death and suffering.
Plan International Australia welcomes today’s announcement from Foreign Minister, Penny Wong, that Australia will boost investment to combat food insecurity in Africa, through the new Africa-Australia Partnership for Climate Responsive Agriculture.
Children in Lebanon who have been forced to flee their homes as a result of escalating conflict with Israel are facing health risks as shelters become more crowded by the day. Over 1.2 million people inside Lebanon – more than one fifth of the country’s population – have become displaced due to the escalation of conflict three weeks ago, fleeing their homes in fear for their lives as airstrikes intensify.
The Israeli forces’ assault on Gaza has escalated to a horrifying level of atrocity. Northern Gaza is being wiped off the map. Under the guise of “evacuation,” Israeli forces have ordered the forced displacement of an estimated 400,000 Palestinians trapped in northern Gaza, including Gaza City. This is not an evacuation—this is forced displacement under gunfire. Since 1 October, no food has been allowed into the area, and civilians are being starved and bombed in their homes and their tents.
From child and forced marriage to being denied an education, all around the world, girls are still subjected to exclusion, inequality and human rights abuses every single day. And while remarkable progress has been made on gender equality, too many barriers remain that hold girls back from reaching their full potential. To mark International Day of the Girl today on October 11th, humanitarian and girls’ rights charity Plan International Australia – together with its 2024 youth advocates and celebrity ambassador, Hollywood actor Phoebe Tonkin – has joined forces with streaming service Stan to provide an inspiring selection of movies and television that smash gender stereotypes and champion girls in all their diversity.
