Building Futures: Families as the Foundation of Child and Adolescent Well-being
A UNICEF Maldives' report on the role of families in contributing to children's rights, well-being and development
About
Every child’s right to learn, grow, develop well, feel safe and reach their full potential begins with the environment in which they are raised. Families are central to this foundation. Through care, protection, connection and guidance, they shape how children experience the world, develop relationships, build confidence and navigate the transition into adolescence and adulthood.
Expanding on UNICEF Maldives' 'Building Futures' series, this report explores how family relationships and the wider environments surrounding families influence children’s and adolescents’ rights and wellbeing in Maldives. It examines the changes that families are navigating, the pressures and opportunities shaping everyday life, and the ways these experiences affect children’s development and life chances.
