[Para. 1]: "Children now comprise 30% of the world’s population. In one way or another, the COVID- 19 pandemic has altered the life of every child on the planet. Children have experienced school and childcare closures, limited play and social interactions, increases in domestic violence, abuse, poverty—and some have experienced the profound loss of losing a loved one. The pandemic has exposed the fragility of children’s lives and has profoundly threatened their fundamental human rights."
