Joint Statement
ECPC joins with the Early Childhood Development Action Network (ECDAN) and other ECD global networks in calling for emergency global response and humanitarian action for children and families within Ukraine and those displaced in surrounding regions.

The Early Childhood Development Action Network (ECDAN), the Early Childhood Peace Consortium (ECPC), Moving Minds Alliance, the International Step by Step Association (ISSA), the Asia-Pacific Regional Network for Early Childhood (ARNEC), the Africa Early Childhood Network (AfECN), and the Arab Network for Early Childhood Development (ANECD), are deeply concerned as we watch the violent conflict and humanitarian crisis unfold in Ukraine. Sadly, the children caught up in this conflict will be the most adversely affected. We must put the protection, health, learning, well-being, and developmental needs of Ukraine’s young children, 2 million children under the age of 5, at the heart of our response.

ECPC Policy Brief
Fathers Matter for Peace, Equity, and Social Inclusion
By Kristen E. McLean and Catherine Panter-Brick (ECPC member)
How do we build strong foundations for peace, equity, and social inclusion? In settings of conflict and social adversity, we have seen calls for novel ways to support interventions that address the risks of violence, instability, and social exclusion, across sectors of health, economy, and education. This policy brief lays out the evidence showing that men as fathers can champion social change to raise children with a disposition toward peace, equity, and social inclusion. It explains the call for social transformation focusing on men as agents of change, offers concrete examples of initiatives to promote peace and inclusion, and suggests two recommendations for policy and practice.
