Background:

NEW YORK, 19 November 2004 – UNICEF has just released the ‘Top 10 Cartoons for Children’s Rights’, as selected by polling broadcasters and communicators, to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Cartoons for Children's Rights is a UNICEF broadcast initiative that aims to inform people around the world about children’s rights.  So far, the effort has forged partnerships with many well-known animation studios that have developed more than 80 half-minute public service announcements (PSAs).

Each PSA illustrates a right described in the global rights treaty, such as ‘Freedom from Child Labour’ or ‘Protection from Neglect’. All the spots are non-verbal, in order to get the rights message across to everyone, regardless of language. The spots have aired on more than 2,000 television stations globally.

UNICEF儿童基金会简介


   联合国儿童基金会（UNICEF）全称United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund, 由联合国创建于1946年12月11日，当时目的是满足战后欧洲与中国儿童的紧急需求。1950年开始，对象扩大到所有发展中国家儿童与母亲的长期需求。

   1953年，儿童基金会正式成为联合国的一部分，并将名称缩减为United Nations Children's Fund，但其简称UNICEF一直沿用下来。儿童基金会总部设在纽约，全球有8个地区办事处和125个国家办事处，在意大利佛罗伦萨设有一个研究中心。目前儿童基金会在全球的161个国家和地区常年设有项目，以《儿童权利公约》为指导，特别保护处境最不利的儿童，如战争、灾难、极度贫困以及一切形式的暴力的剥削受害者及残疾者。

Who we are
We promote girls’ education – ensuring that they complete primary education as a minimum – because it benefits all children, both girls and boys. Girls who are educated grow up to become better thinkers, better citizens, and better parents to their own children.
