Description
The year 2014 was one of sharp contrasts for the world��s children - posing new challenges for UNICEF��s work to improve their lives and emphasizing the critical necessity of investing in heir resilience, before, during, and after emergencies. In November, we marked the 25th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the remarkable progress that has been made for children over the last quarter century. There is much to celebrate: A child born today has a far better chance than a child born in 1989 to survive and thrive, to learn and grow, to participate and contribute to society.
