Summary
"This report outlines many of the milestones achieved for the world's poor and marginalized children to date, as well as many of the remaining gaps. It examines seven sectors that are critical to progress for children: health; HIV and AIDS; water, sanitation, and hygiene; nutrition; education; child protection; and social inclusion. In each sector, there are stark contrasts between global advances on one hand and the urgent, unmet needs of the world's most vulnerable children on the other. Above all, the report underscores why equity is so important: because all children have the right to survive, thrive and reach their full potential." -- from introduction of book. Introduction: The equity agenda -- 1: The case for equity -- 2: Progress and gaps in equity for children -- 3: Closing the gaps in equity -- 4: Accelerating equity for children.
