I recently met with representatives of UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund). Every year 5.4 million children around the world die from causes that are in many instances preventable. UNICEF has over the past 70 years provided humanitarian assistance to children worldwide and in just the past 20 years reduced the world’s child mortality rate by 62%.

While I have had - and continue to have - a number of differences with the United Nations overall (particularly its anti-Israel bias), I have supported America’s contributions to UNICEF. Besides its efforts against disease and malnutrition UNICEF works to prevent child trafficking and forced labor and other abuses against children.

In my meeting with the UNICEF advocates we discussed several pieces of legislation introduced in Congress relating to children. The first is the Keeping Girls In School Act (H.R. 2253) which codifies the United States Global Strategy to Empower Adolescent Girls. This bill has bipartisan support and I am a cosponsor of H.R. 2253.

The second bill we discussed was the Congressional Resolution to End Violence Against Children Globally (H.Res.230). A child dies every 5 minutes because of violence. H.Res. 230 calls for uniform policies to combat human trafficking, online exploitation and gender-based violence. I am cosponsoring this bill as well.

As we concluded our meeting, I thanked the advocates for their efforts. ... See MoreSee Less

Thank you PETE. MUST SAY AGAIN N AGAIN. YOU ALWAYS DOING GOOD. NONSTOP ENERGY. ITS THE MARINE IN YOU

You are so stupid. Using our tax dollars for children in other countries when we have $22 trillion in debt. You care more about foreigners and getting. Re-elected than representing the people of this country (Which is your job). You are an unpatriotic idiot. Please resign so we can get a conservative on office. RINO

Well Rep. King, I applaud you on this, but I do have to ask: whenever one of your democratic colleagues says something similar, the comments from the right will accuse them of caring more for foreigners than our own Americans, and even going farther in their accusations. Do you accept this level of discourse?

You want to reduce childhood death wonderful, ban assault weapons and all the loopholes this country has ! Call the Senators and Comgressman out who are feeding their bank accounts with NRA money ! I know you have been vocal, I would love to see it shouted LOUDER !
