For every child, the right to a Voice
How can you make a difference?
The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does — in programs, advocacy and 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. This is why 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.
Based in Delhi to strategically strengthen relationships with South Asia news bureaus and drive international media coverage of children’s issues across the Asia and Pacific region, the Communication Specialist (Media) will enhance UNICEF’s media agility and proactiveness in disaster-prone regions, reinforcing UNICEF’s reputation as the leading organisation for reliable data, engaging spokespersons, and compelling stories about children.
Working under the supervision of the Communication Specialist (Media) at the UNICEF Asia Pacific Regional Office (APRO), the incumbent will closely collaborate with UNICEF Country Offices, the Division of Global Communication and Advocacy, and various partners and stakeholders. The aim is to harness regional and global collaborations on key advocacy and programme priorities for Asia and the Pacific.
