UNICEF highlights role of media in increasing road safety for children and adolescents
Experts, journalists, and RJs discuss innovative editorial and programming strategies to protect children from road traffic injuries.
To protect children from the increasing dangers of road accidents, over 30 media professionals from print, online, and radio gathered in Ahmedabad for a two-day ‘National Media Workshop on Road Safety,’ organized by UNICEF. The event aimed to enhance the capacity of journalists to promote road safety, especially for children and adolescents, and to foster collaboration among experts, government officials, and media professionals to advocate for the same.
A collaboration Of Our times IWPC & UNICEF
Three decades after it was signed, the Convention on the Rights of the Child remains the landmark document guiding the destinies of millions of the world’s children.
The Indian Women’s Press Corps (IWPC), in its silver jubilee year, can play a significant role in highlighting the achievements as well as the guidelines that remain to be met on the CRC. To that end, IWPC is partnering with UNICEF, which has a 70-year old presence in India, and has had a seminal role in ensuring that the Convention’s guidelines are met, to raise awareness about the CRC and to further its aims.
To commemorate 30 years of the Child Rights Convention, IWPC, in collaboration with UNICEF, has posted a course on Child Rights online. All members are requested to view and take the course, which will provide valuable insights and information to help in their professional reportage.

The agenda of 2017, which included strengthening health-care systems, reducing malnutrition, health-crisis management and scaling up the fight against pandemics, has been expanded by India to include emerging trans-border and trans-sectoral challenges such as antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and impact of climate change on health. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has reiterated that India’s G20 Presidency will be inclusive, action-oriented and decisive. The theme “One Earth, One Family, One Future“
