Children in Asia-Pacific continue to experience violations of their rights. UNICEF's child protection work seeks to keep them safe from abuse.

UNICEF aims to achieve high quality education for all children in Asia-Pacific, irrespective of their gender, ethnicity, language or disability.

Emergencies are caused by natural disasters or conflict. UNICEF helps children during emergencies and works to better prepare for future disasters.

Improved water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) prevents illness and disease. UNICEF works to expand WASH access for children in Asia-Pacific.

UNICEF is supporting governments in Asia-Pacific to develop more equitable and effective social and economic policies, to benefit all children.
