The world remains a deeply unfair place for the poorest and most disadvantaged children despite major advances since the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989, according to a new UNICEF report.
The report “For every child, a fair chance: The promise of equity”, presents a statistical picture of how the world’s most marginalized children have fared against basic human development indicators.
UNICEF Ambassadors Orlando Bloom, Novak Djokovic, Shakira, Priyanka Chopra, Angelique Kidjo and Mia Farrow joined forces to fight today’s unfair world for children.
According to UNICEF, in just over a generation, the world has cut child death rates by half, put over 90 percent of children in primary school, and increased by 2.6 billion the number of people with access to safe water.
The UN Children’s Fund noted that children make up almost half of the world’s poor, nearly 250 million children live in conflict-torn countries, and over 200,000 have risked their lives this year seeking refuge in Europe.
The report points out that:
Children from the poorest households are nearly twice as likely as those from the richest households to die before age five, and five times more likely to be out of school.
Girls from the poorest families are four times more likely as those from the richest families to be married before 18.
More than 2.4 billion people still do not have adequate toilets – 40 per cent of them in South Asia; and more than 660 million still lack access to safe drinking water – nearly half of them in sub-Saharan Africa.
Roughly half of the 159 million children suffering from stunting live in South Asia and one-third in Africa.
