Thank you.
I mentioned earlier in response to Mr. Bergeron the focus on water and sanitation. Maybe I'll spend some time focusing on the other five areas of the six-point plan.
I'd like to highlight that this is a set of practical and concrete actions to really reunite the world around a common cause, and that is the realization of the SDGs and the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Of the six priorities, I mentioned water and sanitation, but there are other ones that have been highlighted here today. There is the priority on education to ensure that all children learn, and that includes provision of targeted education support for children in conflict and crisis including displaced children, as well as girls and children with disabilities.
Another priority is to guarantee equitable access to health and nutrition services, including making sure that vaccines are affordable and available to every child. And I would really highlight the importance of ensuring we don't forget about routine vaccinations. We are very concerned that measles, polio, diphtheria and other deadly diseases are really increasing now in conflict-affected countries in particular like Yemen, as my colleague highlighted. That's another priority.
We're also concerned about the mental health of children and young people, which is the third area. And we're concerned about bringing an end to abuse and gender-based violence, recognizing, too, that gender-based violence has severe mental health impacts. That's our third area, mental health and gender-based violence.
Water and sanitation is the fourth.
There's also a concern around increases in child poverty, and really there we need to focus on inclusive recovery for all, including through an increase to overseas aid commitment and social protection mechanisms like cash transfers to allow children access to education, nutrition services and immunizations.
Finally, and this is really one of the most relevant to this segment of the study, we need to redouble efforts to protect and support children and their families living through conflict, disaster and displacement.
