At UNICEF Canada we're defending the right to childhood. Together, we can give every child, everywhere, a chance to be a kid.
UNICEF is gravely concerned about escalating events in Iran and across the Middle East. Children are being killed and injured as violence intensifies. Children must never be targets. We must collectively amplify calls to protect children and ensure international law is respected.
