Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer:
UNICEF is the driving force that helps build a world where the rights of every child are
realized. We have the global authority to influence decision-makers, and the variety of partners
at grassroots level to turn the most innovative ideas into reality. That makes us unique among
world organizations, and unique among those working with the young.
We believe that nurturing and caring for children are the cornerstones of human progress.
UNICEF was created with this purpose in mind – to work with others to overcome the obstacles
that poverty, violence, disease and discrimination place in a child’s path. We believe that we can,
together, advance the cause of humanity.
We advocate for measures to give children the best start in life, because proper care at the
youngest age forms the strongest foundation for a person’s future.
We promote girls’ education – ensuring that they complete primary education as a minimum
– because it benefits all children, both girls and boys. Girls who are educated grow up to become
better thinkers, better citizens, and better parents to their own children.
We act so that all children are immunized against common childhood diseases, and are well
nourished, because it is wrong for a child to suffer or die from a preventable illness.
We work to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS among young people because it is right to keep
them from harm and enable them to protect others. We help children and families affected by
HIV/AIDS to live their lives with dignity.

We involve everyone in creating protective environments for children. We are present to
relieve suffering during emergencies, and wherever children are threatened, because no child
should be exposed to violence, abuse or exploitation.


UNICEF upholds the Convention on the Rights of the Child. We work to assure equality for
those who are discriminated against, girls and women in particular. We work for the Millennium
Development Goals and for the progress promised in the United Nations Charter.We strive for
peace and security. We work to hold everyone accountable to the promises made for children.
We are part of the Global Movement for Children – a broad coalition dedicated to
improving the life of every child. Through this movement, and events such as the United
Nations Special Session on Children, we encourage young people to speak out and participate in
the decisions that affect their lives.
We work in 190 countries through country programmes and National Committees. We are
UNICEF, the United Nations Children’s Fund.
