Profile

• The fundamental purpose of UNICEF is to advance the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the company does — in programs, in support and in processes.
• The equity plan, emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, translates this dedication to children’s rights into action.
• For UNICEF, equity means that all children possess an avenue to survive, formulate and reach their maximum ability, without discrimination, prejudice or favoritism.
• To the academic qualification that any child possesses an unequal chance in life — in its community-related, 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 — dealing with inequity — not only will offer all children the avenue to fulfill their possibility but also will head to sustained growth and stability of countries.
• This is why the concentration on equity is so vital. It accelerates advancement 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 assisting the equitable development of nations.
