For every child, OPPORTUNITIES

At the core of UNICEF's universal mandate is our commitment to protect and uphold the rights enshrined in the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) for all children ? without discrimination and without leaving any child behind. The rights enshrined in the CRC apply equally to all children in a country, including children who are non-nationals or stateless, refugee and international migrant children. There is growing evidence that investing in the health, education, social protection, and protection of a society's most disadvantaged residents ? 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.

A dedicated focus on children on the move is critical to meet the SDGs commitment to leave no one behind. UNICEF's Strategic Plan (2022-2025) reflects children on the move across Goal Areas and as an important cross-cutting priority, supporting global commitments such as the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration and Global Compact on Refugees. The Strategic Plan commits UNICEF to a renewed focus on inclusion of children on the move into education, child protection and social protection systems to tackle root causes for forced displacement or unsafe migration, discrimination and exclusion. UNICEF works with UNHCR, IOM and other key stakeholders and networks, such as the UN Migration Network, to prevent and mitigate harmful migration practices, such as child immigration detention or family separation, and ensures migrant and displaced children are heard, involved and empowered to reach their potential.
