The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does — in programs, in advocacy and in operations. The equity strategy, emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, translates this commitment to children’s rights into action. For UNICEF, equity means that all children have an opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potential, without discrimination, bias, or favoritism. To the degree that any child has an unequal chance in life — in its social, political, economic, civic, and cultural dimensions — her or his rights are violated. There is growing evidence that investing in the health, education, and protection of a society’s most disadvantaged citizens — 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. Therefore, the focus on equity is so vital. It accelerates progress towards realizing the human rights of all children, which is the universal mandate of UNICEF, as outlined by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, while also supporting the equitable development of nations.

Adolescence is a critical period of development during which mental health challenges can have lasting impacts. In Bhutan, mental health concerns among children, adolescents, young people, and women are increasing, with anxiety and depression accounting for more than 55% of reported cases, followed by alcohol -related mental and behavioral disorders.

The pilot implementation of the HAT initiative demonstrated positive outcomes in strengthening adolescents’ social -emotional skills, with participants showing improved emotional awareness and a greater willingness to seek support from peers, counsellors, and wellbeing focal persons. Teachers observed that students felt more comfortable discussing their challenges, while parents and caregivers reported being better equipped to understand and support their children after participating in the programme. A major factor contributing to the pilot’s success was the adaptation of the resources to the Bhutanese context, particularly the comic book Magnificent Meto and Friends , whose relatable characters and storylines resonated strongly with adolescents.
