Known around the world for their work on behalf of children, UNICEF recently issued the latest version of their annual “State of the World’s Children” report. While the entire report is worthy of review, visitors who may be pressed for time should first consider the executive summary. In brief, the summary notes that certain inequities among groups of children across the world may be best addressed by tackling poverty-reduction strategies, addressing the situation within ‘fragile’ nations, and lobbying the international community to prevent and resolve armed conflict. The tables in the report are quite illustrative, and they include those that contain economic indicators, HIV/AIDS infection rates, and child protection measures. The report is available in a number of different languages, including Spanish and French.
