"The children born today enter a world far different than even a year ago, and a New Year brings a new opportunity to reimagine it," said Unicef Executive Director Henrietta Fore. 

"Children born today will inherit the world we begin to build for them—today. Let us make 2021 the year we start to build a fairer, safer, healthier world for children," she added.

2021 will also mark the 75th anniversary of Unicef. Over the course of the year, Unicef and its partners will be commemorating the anniversary with different events.
