Oxford reveals Children's Word of the Year for 2025
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Oxford University Press (OUP) has announced that peace is the children's word of the year for 2025. According to the research, which was carried out in 2025 and included opinions from almost 5,000 children aged six to 14, 35 per cent of children chose peace, followed by 33 per cent choosing AI and 21 per cent opting for resilience. One in 10 children then mentioned war when asked why they chose peace and highlighted specific conflicts such as Ukraine and Gaza."
The Independent deploys reporters across issues including reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, investigating financials and producing documentaries. The outlet emphasizes the importance of parsing facts from messaging and seeks donations to continue sending journalists to report from both sides without paywalls. Funding supports paywall-free access to reporting and analysis, with the expectation that quality journalism is paid for by those who can afford it. Oxford University Press named 'peace' the children's word of the year for 2025, with 35 percent choosing peace, 33 percent choosing AI, and 21 percent choosing resilience; mentions of peace in children's stories have risen 60 percent since 2015.
