OMEP has Special Consultative Status at the United Nations and UNESCO. This
gives our organization both the privilege and the responsibility of advocating at global and  national levels for the rights and best interests of the world’s
youngest children, especially refugees and others living in the most  difficult circumstances. In this session, representatives to the UN, UNICEF, and UNESCO will present up-to-the-minute information about OMEP's leadership of the UN Committee on Migration and about a  new early childhood sustainability Resource Bank we've established with UNESCO. We’ll share information about OMEP's
collaboration with UNICEF on water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) in  early childhood settings and discuss OMEP's efforts to promote early  childhood in the UN Sustainable Development Goals on education, health,  peace and many others. Most importantly, you will learn how you can become involved in OMEP’s public policy and advocacy work  even if you do not live near UN or UNESCO headquarters.  Let’s use the power of our organization’s voice to ensure that world leaders put their promises to young children into action.
