The UNICEF has released statements regarding indigenous as the “most vulnerable and marginalised groups in the world” (Bosch, 2004). Data investigational research has been conducted and funding prioritized to train indigenous as health workers that can blend the traditional aspects of healing with modern techniques How does UNICEF embody global citizenship through information ethics? The UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in 2013 recognized Indigenous rights and preservation of traditional culture - to live freely without discrimination. UNICEF invited indigenous children to take part in the declaration launch “New version of the declaration is visually accessible and uses language that younger people can understand” and UNICEF holds youth in high regard as they are essential to communicating to governments and indigenous communities the declaration (Chien & Lupton, 2013). UNICEF thus recognizes the indigenous people of being part of the global picture with rights of protection regardless of existing border/state laws How does UNICEF directly work to promote human rights?

Created in December, 1946: Its mission was to provide emergency relief to children who were victims and refugees of World War II A subset of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration Initially, UNICEF used gov’t, stakeholder, and personal donation funding to provide food aid and tuberculosis vaccination for over 10 million children. By the 1950s, the UN decided to make UNICEF a permanent organization that would develop long-term goals of child aid, healthcare/educational systems, and maternal health education, as it had become very well-known In the 1980s UNICEF called for a strategic plan of financial support on a sustained basis for Africa to aid the children dying from preventable deaths, such as by disease and starvation. By 2006, UNICEF had partners in 157 countries, with 7000+ workers helping to provide assistance and promote children's rights.
