The World's "Invisible" Children

@ 08:27 PM (90 months, 17 days ago)

In it's new report "Excluded and Invisible," the organization UNICEF says there are millions of "invisible" children in the world.

Millions of the world's most vulnerable, neediest children are "invisible" to their own governments, because there is no record of their birth.

Children who are orphans due to AIDS, as well as those who are forced into early marriages, also account for those who have fallen off their government's radar screen.

Millions of children "invisible": UNICEF

  1. Children should be not seen and not heard. :wink:

  2. Silly me! I always thought they were to be cared for, and taken care of, so that all their needs would be met! :???:

  4. Nice try Freeper, but we will NOT be drawn into some "culture war" over abortion in this thread.

    This thread is about millions of children being invisible to their own government because there is no record of their birth.

    This thread isn't about abortion, as much as I'm sure you'd like it to be.
