For every child, the right to immunization is a must!! 

How can you make a difference? 

I:  Country Context:

UNICEF's core mission is to advance the rights of every child worldwide, embedding this commitment across all programs, advocacy efforts, and operational activities, particularly in challenging contexts like Liberia. Central to this is the equity strategy, which prioritizes the most marginalized and excluded children and families, translating the promise of children's rights into actionable outcomes. Equity ensures that every child can survive, thrive, and reach their full potential without discrimination, bias, or favoritism, even in a post-conflict nation where rural-urban disparities, climate vulnerabilities, and fragile infrastructure present significant hurdles. When any child faces unequal opportunities across social, political, economic, civic, or cultural dimensions compounded by historical conflict and entrenched social norms, their fundamental rights are violated.
