UNICEF was invited to assess the situation of children in Curaçao, a Caribbean country that is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The study affirmed Curaçao’s relatively high standard of living, including basic social services for children. It also recommended courses of action for government and community leaders to bridge remaining programme gaps and achieve child rights in all areas of daily life.
