Sachin Kumar moderating the #BICON2025 session on Early childhood development. Ruma Budha Magar spoke of the urgent "need to make sure care-experienced youth are part of the conversation, not just during events like these, not just as stories, but as decision makers."

Care reform is a journey—not a destination.
The Global Charter launched by @DavidLammy is a call for moral & political commitment.
30+ countries endorsed. But real change must be locally led.
We climb the hill together. We descend the valley together.
