​The COVID-19 pandemic has intensified global challenges, exacerbating hunger and violence that disproportionately affect children. Disruptions to food systems and economic hardships have led to increased food insecurity, leaving many children malnourished and vulnerable to exploitation. Moreover, the pandemic has heightened instances of domestic violence and child abuse, as families grapple with stress and limited resources. In response, initiatives like Children of One Planet’s “Dance for Hope” campaign aim to raise awareness and support for these pressing issues, using the power of dance to unite communities and advocate for the well-being of children worldwide.
