Activities

The overall goal of the UNICEF Country Program for the period 2001 - 2005 is to advocate for and contribute towards the progressive establishment of an environment where the rights to survival, development, protection and participation of children and women are realized according to the obligations and responsibilities assumed by Burma as a State Party to the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW).

In Burma and the Greater Mekong Sub-Region, UNICEF and its many partners - all of which coordinate their activities as members of the UN Inter-Agency Project on Trafficking (UNIAP) - support a range of actions to combat human trafficking and create a protective environment for children. UNICEF-supported activities in the region include the reintegration of trafficking victims, psychosocial support services for these victims, support for community-level prevention activities, education services, and the enhancement of legal protections.

In Burma, UNICEF is working in partnership with communities, NGOs and others to train community officials, teachers, Parent-Teachers Associations and other civil society groups in trafficking prevention, and to reintegrate trafficked victims in their home communities, thanks to funding provided by the Government of Japan.
