Civil society action is positive but overshadowed by severe institutional failure causing child deaths. | The Union Against Hunger’s campaign to frame malnutrition deaths as unlawful government action is a positive step toward accountability and systemic change, aligning with SDGs 1, 2, and 3. However, the underlying crisis of 30 child deaths daily reflects severe institutional failure, violating fundamental rights to life, health, and food security under UDHR and CRC.
