Global Child Forum and UNICEF signed a Memorandum of Understanding today reinforcing the two organizations’ continued collaboration working to promote the rights and well-being of every child...Global Child Forum and UNICEF have been working to advance children’s rights in the corporate sector and are guided by the United Nations Convention on Rights of the Child (CRC) and the Children’s Rights and Business Principles – a set of 10 principles that guide business in how they can address children’s rights in their sphere of influence.

…Together, the two organizations are developing the Children’s Rights and Business Atlas – a free online risk assessment tool for business.
