UNICEF works in some of the world's toughest places, to reach the world's most
disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help
them fulfill their potential. Across ‎190 countries and territories, we work
for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.
And we never give up.
For every child, a chance.
The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child,
everywhere, in everything the organization does -- in programs, in advocacy
and in operations. The equity strategy, emphasizing the most disadvantaged and
excluded children and families, translates this commitment to children's
rights into action. For UNICEF, equity means that all children have an
opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potential, without
discrimination, bias, or favoritism. To the degree that any child has an
unequal chance in life -- in its social, political, economic, civic, and
cultural dimensions -- her or his rights are violated. There is growing
evidence that investing in the health, education, and protection of a
society's most disadvantaged citizens -- addressing inequity -- not only will
give all children the opportunity to fulfill their potential but also will
lead to sustained growth and stability of countries. This is why the focus on
equity is so vital. It accelerates progress towards realizing the human rights
of all children, which is the universal mandate of UNICEF, as outlined by the
Convention on the Rights of the Child, while also supporting the equitable
development of nations.
