The State of the World's Children 2007 by UNICEF. Pdf

The State of the World's Children 2007 reports on the lives of women around the world because gender equality and the well-being of children go hand in hand. When women are empowered to live full and productive lives, children prosper and UNICEF's experience also shows the opposite: When women are denied equal opportunity within a society, children suffer. The report is divided into five sections: a call for equality; equality in the household; equality in employment; equality in politics and government; reaping the double dividend of gender equality.

State of the World's Children 2007, The by United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) Pdf

Millions of girls and women continue to live in poverty, disempowered and discriminated against. They are disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS, less likely to attend school and often subject to physical and sexual violence. In most places, men continue to earn more pay than women for the same jobs. This year’s edition of UNICEF’s flagship publication, examines the status of women around the world. It concludes that an end to gender discrimination produces the ‘double dividend’ of benefiting women and children – which, in turn, has a positive impact on the health and development of societies everywhere.

The State of the World's Children 2007 by Anonim Pdf

Annotation. The State of the World's Children 2007 examines the discrimination and disempowerment women face throughout their lives - and outlines what must be done to eliminate gender discrimination and empower women and girls. It looks at the status of women today, discusses how gender equality will move all the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) forward, and shows how investment in women's rights will ultimately produce a double dividend: advancing the rights of both women and children.

The State of the World's Children 2009 by UNICEF. Pdf

Having a child remains one of the biggest health risks for women worldwide. Fifteen hundred women die every day while giving birth. That's a half a million mothers every year. UNICEF's flagship publication, The State of the World's Children 2009, addresses maternal mortality, one of the most intractable problems for development work.The difference in pregnancy risk between women in developing countries and their peers in the industrialised world is often termed the greatest health divide in the world. A woman in Niger has a one in seven chance of dying during the course of her lifetime from complications during pregnancy or delivery. That's in stark contrast to the risk for mothers in America, where it's one in 4,800 or in Ireland, where it's just one in 48,000. Addressing that gap is a multidisciplinary challenge, requiring an emphasis on education, human resources, community involvement and social equality. At a minimum, women must be guaranteed antenatal care, skilled birth attendants and emergency obstetrics, and postpartum care. These essential interventions will only be guaranteed within the context of improved education and the abolition of discrimination.

While cities have long been associated with employment, development and economic growth, hundreds of millions of children in the world’s urban areas are growing up amid scarcity and deprivation.

It examines major phenomena shaping the lives of children in urban settings, including migration, economic shocks and acute disaster risk. It also provides examples of efforts to improve the urban realities that children confront and identifies broad policy actions that should be included in any strategy to reach excluded children and foster equity in urban settings driven by disparity.

Women’S Worth, Priceless by Troy Mckenzie Pdf

Womens Worth: Priceless focuses on the necessity to protect and promote the human rights of women and girls around the world. It is a sad commentary on the historical and traditional prejudice against women and girls. In the worlds poorest countries, women and girls are among the most vulnerable and marginalized members of society. This goes without saying that womens rights violations are present in every country and at every level of society. Eliminating gender discrimination and empowering women are among the imperatives facing the world today. Although much has changed in the decades of womens rights advocacy, the rights and entitlements claimed for women and girls are commonly ignored or suppressed in many societies worldwide. Consequently, hundreds of millions of women and girls are deprived of their human rights. But what can we, the concerned people, do to stop these abuses? I believe the answer is to support global advocacy and action to secure womens and girls rights. It would help if we could all make an effort to create a world fit for women and children to grow up safe and live happy and healthy.

Closing the Gap in a Generation by WHO Commission on Social Determinants of Health,World Health Organization Pdf

Social justice is a matter of life and death. It affects the way people live, their consequent chance of illness, and their risk of premature death. We watch in wonder as life expectancy and good health continue to increase in parts of the world and in alarm as they fail to improve in others.
