Even in times of crisis or economic recession, the state has an obligation to protect children & ensure that they're the last to be affected. It also has a duty to protect children from harmful business practices – including the marketing of foods that are harmful to health #ChildRights #RightToFood

The rights of children to basic nutrition & basic healthcare are not subject to progressive realisation. The state should therefore ensure that goods & services essential to realising these rights (eg. food, healthcare & social grants) are immediately available for children #ChildRights #RightToFood

Undernutrition and over-nutrition are two sides of the same coin – and both overweight and stunted children are at greater risk of becoming obese and developing diet-related non-communicable diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure.

In response to questions, the UN SR on #RightToFood @michaelfakhri.bsky.social highlighted importance of addressing corporate accountability: the same actors that caused climate change are the same actors that have all the ownership of the land.
We need to hold corporations accountable.
