UNICEF is tackling a range of global issues, from the effects of war, poverty, disease and malnutrition to education and the rights of women. This book examines the implementation and impact of several UNICEF campaigns. It assesses how successful the organisation has been in its aim to save and protect the world's children from the forces that threaten their survival and the quality of their lives.
The global organisations at the centre of the 'World Watch' books are attempting to confront critical quality-of-life issues for all of humanity, not just the privileged minority. They raise awareness and challenge complacency, fight for causes and influence the decisions and actions of politicians and industrialists. The books provide an insight into the aims and methods of each organisation and discuss the complex problems each is trying to address.
