  • UNICEF Canada’s Youth Advocacy Summit Celebrates the Power of Youth Leadership

    Posted by UNICEF Canada ·

    UNICEF Canada’s Youth Advocacy Summit bought together 70 young advocates from across the country on November 20, 2024, in Ottawa. Marking National Child Day, these advocates shared solutions on issues like education, healthcare, and mental health with policymakers and global leaders. Their insights, captured in the 2024 Reimagine Playbook, emphasize one clear message: youth are not just the leaders of tomorrow—they are the leaders of today.

    Posted by UNICEF Canada ·

    “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.

  • Climate Change: A Teenager’s Perspective

    Posted by Guest Author ·

    The world is changing, and not in a good way. As a teenager growing up, I slowly saw the environment around us changing.
