On 20 November, World Children’s Day, we celebrated the rights of all children. Yet far too many still lack the safe and happy childhoods they deserve. Many grow up in poverty or carry deep emotional and physical scars from war. In this article, our surprise guest, Davide Rambaldi, Communications Coordinator at Eurochild, reflects on these unequal childhoods and introduces GUIDE — a project carried out by his organisation, supporting guardians of unaccompanied children fleeing conflict and hardship.
