| UNICEF's Mission:
UNICEF is the world's leading child rights organization, operating in 158 countries
and territories around the world. We are guided by the 1989 Convention on the
Rights of the Child and are steadfastly committed to the principle that child rights
apply to all children, everywhere.
UNICEF's mission is to provide special protection for the most
disadvantaged children:
victims of war, disasters, extreme poverty, all forms of violence and exploitation,
and those with disabilities. The human dignity of children and their families is
often the first casualty of a crisis. During an emergency, UNICEF focuses on
meeting the basic needs of women and children as well as protecting their
fundamental rights.
UNICEF's activities in the field are based on need, not politics.
UNICEF does not take sides in political conflicts. UNICEF works to draw the
world's attention to the devastating affects of violence and conflict on children.
UNICEF condemns any statement in any form that encourages children to hate,
discriminate, or to take to violent actions.
UNICEF works with everyone.
UNICEF works with governments, international and national organizations, United
Nations agencies, NGOs, community-based organizations, local authorities and the
private sector, as well with religious and cultural groups, community leaders, the
general public, families, children and young people.
UNICEF provides assistance to the world's poorest countries.
Determination based on specific indicators that include child mortality rates, level
of basic services and per capita income. In addition, UNICEF has 37 national
committees around the world which work to raise money for UNICEF.
