UNICEF Speeches

"UNICEF's mandate is to protect every child against famine, thirst, sickness, abuse, and death" (Hepburn).

"There is so much we cannot do. We cannot give the children back their parents, but we can return to them their most basic human rights, their right to health, cleanliness and life" (Hepburn).

"The time has now come for a worldwide public to cry out against this war on children, against those who use the weapons and those who supply them. If wars must be fought, then, at the very least, children should be protected from their worst effects" (Hepburn).

Raising Donations for Underdeveloped Countries

"In the last decade, more than 1 1/2 million children have been killed in wars. More than 4 million have been physically disabled - limbs amputated, brains damaged, eyesight and hearing lost - through bombing, landmines, firearms, torture. Five million children are in refugee camps, because of war; a further 12 million have lost their homes" (Hepburn). 

"Her efforts helped the agency raise $1 million for relief in Ethiopia" (Seigel).

"In these years she has visited 30 countries and made more fundraising tours and given more and press conferences that UNICEF can count" (Watts).
