UNICEF: Attack on the World’s Children – Evidence of UNICEF Promoting Comprehensive Sexuality Education, Gender Ideology, and Abortion

By | August 12, 2025

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has a relatively uncontroversial mandate: to help children in need around the world.  However, a closer look at their work, materials, and partnerships reveals troubling trends. While issues such as abortion, gender ideology, and comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) remain highly controversial in the UN General Assembly and other parts of the UN that work based on consensus between member states, they have become widespread across the work of the UN’s specialized agencies and funds, including UNICEF.

UNICEF also channels some of its controversial programs, including pro-abortion advocacy, CSE, and promotion of gender ideology, through the broader gender-based violence (GBV) programming.  Different from the original and non-controversial term “violence against women and girls,” GBV is understood by UN agencies as a broader social phenomenon extending beyond tangible acts of violence against women to the different levels of oppression one might experience based on real or perceived gender. Denial of CSE, abortion access, or special rights based on perceived gender identity are now framed by UN Agencies and funds as causes or forms of GBV.
