The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does in programs, in advocacy, and in operations. The equity strategy, emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, translates this commitment to children's rights into action. For UNICEF, equity means that all children have an opportunity to survive, develop, and reach their full potential, without discrimination, bias or favoritism. To the degree that any child has an unequal chance in life in its social, political, economic, civic, and cultural dimensions her or his rights are violated. There is growing evidence that investing in the health, education, and protection of a society's most disadvantaged citizens and addressing inequity not only will give all children the opportunity to fulfill their potential but also lead to sustained growth and stability of countries. This is why the focus on equity is so vital. It accelerates progress towards realizing the human rights of all children, which is the universal mandate of UNICEF, as outlined by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, while also supporting the equitable development of nations.

UNICEF is currently implementing a programme that implements various projects, initiatives, and strategies that support children in the country so they have protection, health, nutrition, education, water and sanitation, and public policies, among other rights. Our advocacy and external communication work is key to positioning UNICEF, promoting awareness, understanding, support, and respect for children's and women's rights in Mexico, and implementing our Country Programme Document

If you are hired as the Chief of Communication, you will lead a team of 12 colleagues in crafting our Communication Strategy, partnering with various areas of our organization and external stakeholders to promote meaningful and lasting impacts on the lives of millions of children in Mexico.
