UNICEF`s core mission is to promote the rights of every child everywhere and in everything the organization does – in programmes, advocacy and operations. The Justice Strategy, which focuses on the most disadvantaged and marginalized children and families, puts this commitment to children`s rights into practice. For UNICEF, justice means that all children have the opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potential, free from discrimination, prejudice or favouritism. To the extent that a child has an unequal chance in life – in its social, political, economic, civic and cultural dimensions – his or her rights are violated.
It is increasingly clear that investing in the health, education and protection of a society`s most disadvantaged citizens – by tackling inequality – will not only give all children the opportunity to fulfil their potential, but will also lead to sustainable growth and stability for countries. That is why it is so important to focus on justice. It accelerates progress in the realization of the human rights of all children, which is UNICEF`s universal mandate, as set out in the Convention on the Rights of the Child, while supporting the just development of nations.
