7. UNICEF focus in Pakistan
• Pakistan was the sixth country in the world to sign and ratify the
Convention on the Rights of the Child, less than one year after it
was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1989.
However, children and adolescents living in Pakistan still face
acute challenges.
• UNICEF supports the Government of Pakistan to accelerate
progress for children, work to achieve the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) and help children realize their rights
under the Convention on the Rights of Children. This will be made
through, among others things, strong partnerships with provincial
authorities, teachers and health professionals, frontline workers
and social mobilisers, communities and families, and of course the
children and adolescents themselves.

8. In particular, UNICEF will work so that:
• Every child survives and thrives -- being in good
health, immunized, protected from polio and
accessing nutritious food.
• Every child learns.
• Every child is protected from violence and
exploitation, and registered at birth.
• Every child lives in a safe and clean
environment, with access to safe drinking water
and adequate sanitation

by humanitarian situations
UNICEF is on the ground before, during and
after emergencies.
The Convention on the Rights of the Child and
its optional protocols guide UNICEF’s work on
child protection and children in armed
conflict.

equity refocus.

250 humanitarian situations per year on
average
