This week we're running a Q&A with Anita Tiessen, Deputy Executive Director at UNICEF UK.

With Pampers’ support, great progress has been made by UNICEF, the world’s leading children’s organisation, in the fight against maternal and newborn tetanus. Since the Pampers UNICEF “1 pack = 1 vaccine” campaign started in 2006, Pampers has donated funds for 300 million vaccines, helping to protect the lives of 100 million women and their babies and eliminating maternal and newborn tetanus in 15 countries.

Anita is responsible for UNICEF UK’s public affairs, programmes and communications work. She will answer your questions about the 1 pack= 1 vaccine campaign, what has been achieved so far and the work that still needs to be done to help the millions of women and their newborns around the world who are still under threat of maternal and newborn tetanus.

Post your questions to Anita here before 15th October and we will send 20 questions over to Anita for her to respond to. We will then post her responses back on the thread on 24th October.

This Q&A is sponsored by Pampers.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

Pampers have said:

"Hello everyone. We understand that this type of partnership can raise questions and we are happy to give more information on some of your concerns. We have been working with UNICEF for 9 years on both funding vaccines against newborn tetanus but also raising awareness of the issue through our communication. Very few people know that newborn tetanus is still a threat to 100 million mums and their babies around the world. And yet it is preventable through vaccination. By creating the "1 pack = 1 vaccine" campaign together, Pampers and UNICEF have enabled more people to know about this threat and help eliminate it. It’s an easy way of helping parents, who already buy our packs, help other parents in need. We have also created other ways to engage a wider audience and help the campaign, like our "1 view = 1 vaccine" mechanic on our Facebook page, which is not linked to our packs."

"Since we started working with UNICEF, parents have helped to eliminate newborn tetanus in 15 countries and are helping to protect 100 million mums and their babies around the world. We wanted to give you the opportunity to ask question to Anita Tiessen at UNICEF to better understand the work that is happening in the field to eliminate this terrible disease and also the on-going need that UNICEF workers see everyday.We always welcome feedback of course, and we hope lots of you will want to join in the Q&A with Anita to find out more about the work that UNICEF does."
