Toronto, April 29, 2025 — Save the Children sincerely congratulates the Right Honourable Mark Carney on his election win and re-appointment as Prime Minister of Canada. We look forward to working collaboratively with the Prime Minister and his new government to address the pressing challenges facing children worldwide and within Canada.
As the world’s leading independent organization for children, Save the Children works across the globe to protect and support children affected by conflict, climate crises, and poverty. In Canada, we are proud to partner with Indigenous Nations and communities to advance the rights and well-being of Indigenous children.
“In a world where children are facing unprecedented threats — from armed conflict and climate emergencies to growing attacks on their rights — Prime Minister Carney’s leadership will be critical,” said Danny Glenwright, President and CEO of Save the Children. “We anticipate that under his stewardship, Prime Minister Carney will continue to build on Canada’s Feminist International Assistance Policy (FIAP) and to uphold human rights, child rights, and international law on the world stage and through Canada’s international assistance and diplomatic efforts.”
With a staggering 305 million people, including 210 million children, expected to require life-saving humanitarian assistance this year, Canada’s ongoing commitment to international cooperation, gender equality, climate justice, reconciliation and Indigenous Rights, and child-centered humanitarian support remains of critical importance.
END.
