The upcoming Anti-Poverty Strategy is a key opportunity to finally eliminate segregated settlements. EU funding, including #ESF+, #ERDF, and the #ChildGuarantee, must be fully mobilised to drive real, lasting change. The tools exist. Now political will is needed.

If we want real change, the European Child Guarantee needs real funding.

Fauzaya Talhaoui calls for at least €20 billion in the next EU budget and a strong role for cities & regions because they deliver support directly where children live.

Chancen für Kinder stärken - Zentrum neue Sozialpolitik Das Policy Paper zeigt, was Deutschland von europäischen Nachbarn lernen kann, um Chancen für Kinder zu stärken.

Man lernt nie aus. Im Rahmen des Projekts #ChildGuarantee haben wir uns deshalb genau angeschaut, mit welchen Maßnahmen EU-Mitgliedsstaaten Chancengerechtigkeit für Kinder verbessern und welche davon sich auf Deutschland übertragen ließen. Die Ergebnisse findet ihr in unserem neuen Policy Paper ⬇️

“Strengthening” the #ChildGuarantee requires strengthening implementation not reopening the framework. @eurochild-org.bsky.social #UnequalChildhoods report shows the #ECG is delivering change.

EU Child Guarantee progress: Member states submitted first reports Dec 24 on free healthcare, education, meals for disadvantaged children. As theologian, I see Jesus' "Let children come to me" - still radical. Child poverty is spiritual crisis. t1p.de/6o4o1 #ChildGuarantee #ChildRights #Dignity

🆘 1 in 4 children in the EU grows up at risk of poverty. That’s 20 million children.

🚨 Child poverty violates rights, restricts potential & weakens democracy.

We urge the EU to:
✅ Reinforce the #ChildGuarantee
✅ Strengthen EU Social Agenda

Great news from @ec.europa.eu: candidate countries are asked to appoint #ChildGuarantee coordinators!

With #ChildPoverty still high, extending #EuropeanChildGuarantee to enlargement countries is urgent! We've long called for it

1️⃣ Tackling #childpoverty via #ChildGuarantee
2️⃣ Defending the #ruleoflaw & civil society

🔸Stronger monitoring & #childrights protection

A missed opportunity for child poverty reduction

The EU Parliament voted on #ESF+ post-2027. While we welcome steps to tackle child poverty, we regret the lack of a dedicated €20B budget for the #ChildGuarantee.
This is a missed opportunity to support millions of children.

Response to the European Parliament’s vote on the European Social Fund Plus post-2027 – EU Alliance for Investing in Children

Save the Children is disappointed by @europarl.europa.eu failure to allocate €20B for the #ChildGuarantee in ESF+ post-2027.

With 1 in 4 children at risk of poverty, this decision weakens a vital tool meant to protect millions of Europe's children.

Call to reserve 20 billion € for #ChildGuarantee in future ESF+ deleted from EP report @maritmaij.bsky.social following (narrow) adoption amendment @eppgroup.bsky.social in plenary today.

Is this because of general aversion to ringfencing or loss of trust in Guarantee as effective intervention?!
