Background: 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

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. Therefore
