The equity strategy, emphasising the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, translates this commitment to children's rights into action. For UNICEF, equity means that all children have an equal opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potential, without discrimination, bias or favouritism. To the degree that any child has an unequal chance in life ? in its social, political, economic, civic and cultural dimensions ? their rights are violated. There is growing evidence that investing in the health, education and protection of a society's most disadvantaged citizens ? addressing inequity ? will give all children the opportunity to fulfil their potential and lead to sustained growth and stability of countries. Therefore, the focus on equity is so vital. It accelerates progress towards realising the human rights of all children, which is the universal mandate of UNICEF, as outlined by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, while also supporting the equitable development of nations.However, despite decades of solid work in these sectoral areas, inequity persists.  While advancement is being made, continuous efforts must be geared to accelerate progress towards long-term and sustainable development improvements. One strategy of driving significant impacts for the most vulnerable and excluded children who may still be left behind is to ensure lifelong learning, protection, and development. This component is aimed at achieving that all children and adolescents in Eswatini are protected from violence and HIV, are learning, and are equipped with the skills to become active citizens.UNICEF Eswatini, and more specifically the Lifelong Learning, Protection, and Development section, is looking for a talented young intern who is passionate about working on youth participation, skilling, and empowerment issues and is eager and excited to enhance his/her educational experience through innovative and practical hands-on work assignments.
