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.
In recent years, the impact of migration and forced displacement on children has increased both in scale and complexity, with protracted displacement lasting, on average, an entire childhood.
