Investing in Our Future: A Case for Paid Parental Leave for Every Child

“Parental leave” - a period of adequately paid, sufficient time dedicated to infant care-giving and care-receiving -- is a fundamental policy that helps achieve the best start in life. UNICEF calls parental leave, child-focused income benefits and access to high quality childcare the “family-friendly” policy trifecta.

Maternal health in focus in Ethiopia

A health centre in this Ethiopian village is tackling maternal malnutrition through supplements provided by UNICEF and partners, leading to improved nutrition in pregnant women and chances of a safe delivery and healthy, happy babies and mothers.
