Films and storytelling possess a profound ability to mold public perceptions regarding children facing conflict, deprivation, and diverse cultural backgrounds.

Unicef's efforts extend beyond immediate protection during crises to ensuring sustained access to essential services.

The collaboration with the film industry aims to amplify the voices and dignity of marginalized children. By partnering with filmmakers, Unicef seeks to inspire a generation to recognize their potential and pursue their dreams, while also strengthening global safety nets for children's well-being.
