Mission and objectives

El Fondo de las Naciones Unidas para la Infancia -UNICEF- fue creado en 1946 para atender a los niños víctimas de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, y en 1953, UNICEF se convirtió en organismo permanente de las Naciones Unidas. Desde entonces, su misión ha sido velar por el cumplimiento de los derechos de todos los niños y las niñas, particularmente de los más vulnerables y desprotegidos. UNICEF trabaja en México desde 1954 en coordinación con el gobierno, las organizaciones de la sociedad civil y el sector privado, y guiados por la Convención de los Derechos del Niño de las Naciones Unidas para lograr que todos niños, niñas y adolescentes vean garantizados sus derechos. Nuestros esfuerzos se enfocan en asegurar que todos nuestros programas e iniciativas alcancen a quienes se encuentran en mayor desventaja y vulnerabilidad durante su infancia y adolescencia.
