An outreach worker from the city’s Department of Social Welfare speaks with an 11-year-old girl whom she found on the street at night in Bolivar Park in the neighbourhood of Niquiato, in Medellín, Columbia. The outreach team also includes members from the UNICEF-assisted ‘School Going to the Child’ programme. They hope to identify children who live or work on the streets or who are being abused or sexually exploited, and persuade them to go to shelters where they can receive food and social services and begin the process of returning to school. © UNICEF/NYHQ2009-1797/Susan Markisz http://www.unicef.org

PHOTO OF THE WEEK: 10 July 2012 A Haitian boy looks for shoe-shine customers in Dajabón, Dominican Republic. Many Haitians, including children, cross into the Dominican Republic in an attempt to escape poverty, but the risks are also great. An estimated 2,000 Haitian children are trafficked across the border annually. For those who cross willingly, opportunities for any sort of work are few. UNICEF supports efforts to prevent child trafficking and to educate communities about its risks to their children. ©UNICEF/Marco Dormino To learn more: www.unicef.org/photography
