UNICEF: Child-sensitive social protection

For children living in poverty in the developing world, life is already fragile. Their situation is precarious, and includes the risk of poor health, malnutrition and a lack of education. Their first and last refuge of these children is family. But some events can push even families to the brink.

At times like these, HIV and AIDS can make children in impoverished families even more vulnerable. But an approach to aid known as child-sensitive social protection creates a buffer against shocks such as chronic disease and can lift children out of poverty.

This short video illustrates the ways social protection safeguards children and their families at every level from communities to entire countries and beyond.
