This report provides an updated data-driven assessment of female genital mutilation (FGM) around the world. It narrates through numbers the stories of millions of girls and women who have survived the practice and the millions more who remain at risk.
The report reveals that over 230 million girls and women worldwide have undergone FGM – a 15 per cent increase, or 30 million more girls and women, compared to the data released eight years ago. The largest share of the global burden is found in African countries, with over 144 million cases, followed by over 80…
This manual aims to help countries and their national statistical systems to improve the collection, analysis, sharing and use of data on children on the move. It provides analytical guidance to national statistical authorities and relevant actors on how to acquire or enhance the appropriate capacity to collect data on migrant and displaced children, in compliance with the United Nations’ Fundamental Principles of Official Statistics.
It also shares several country experiences regarding migration data flows and official statistics. Reliable data and official statistics are key to…
The report provides critical evidence for decision-makers across countries to use in both policy and programming. The authors hope that it will serve as a valuable resource to give all children with disabilities the opportunity to realize their rights on an equal basis with their peers.
It includes internationally comparable data from nine countries in Europe and Central Asia and covers more than 30 indicators of child well-being – from education to protection from violence and discrimination. It also presents global and regional estimates of children with disabilities drawn from more than…
This publication evaluates the progress of implementing the 2010 Counter Trafficking in Persons Act in Kenya from its inception until now (2010-2020). Publishing ten years after the Act became operational and thirteen years after it was gazetted, different authors analyse achievements and challenges in operationalising the counter trafficking in persons law.
A collection of research articles, interviews, a speech and art, this publication captures the current counter trafficking in persons environment. It is organised into four key areas of action: Prevention, Protection,…
Nearly 29 million children with disabilities live in Eastern and Southern Africa. Each of them – like every child in the world – has the right to be nurtured and supported through responsive care and education, to receive adequate nutrition and social protection, and to enjoy play and leisure time. Too often, however, such rights are denied. The reasons vary: They include stigma, lack of accessible services, institutionalization and physical barriers. But the consequences are sadly consistent. When marginalized from society, these children’s chances to survive and thrive are diminished, along…
En 2015, la adopción de la Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible se enmarcó en torno a la promesa de no dejar a nadie atrás. La agenda urge a comprometerse con la consecución de los 17 Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) y sus 169 metas correspondientes en beneficio de todos y cada uno de los miembros de la sociedad. Hace hincapié, asimismo, en la necesidad de llegar primero a las personas que se han quedado más rezagadas, lo que inevitablemente incluye a los niños y niñas con discapacidad y sus familias. El seguimiento de la inclusión de los niños y niñas con discapacidad en las…
En 2015, l’adoption du Programme de développement durable à l’horizon 2030 était axée sur la promesse de ne laisser personne de côté. Cette initiative appelle à contribuer à la réalisation des 17 objectifs de développement durable, et de leurs 169 cibles, et ce, dans l’intérêt de tous les membres de la société. Elle souligne la nécessité de venir en aide en premier lieu aux personnes les plus marginalisées, un groupe dont les enfants handicapés et leur famille font inévitablement partie.
Le suivi de l’inclusion des enfants handicapés dans les efforts de développement a…

In 2015, the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was framed around the pledge of leaving no one behind. It calls for a commitment to ensure that all 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), comprising 169 targets, are achieved for the benefit of all members of society. It emphasizes reaching those furthest behind first, which inevitably includes children with disabilities and their families.
Monitoring the inclusion of children with disabilities in development efforts has long been held back by the lack of reliable and comprehensive data. Recent years, however, have…
Millions of children with disabilities around the globe continue to be left behind, despite the near-universal ratification of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the call for action embedded in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the clear mandate set by the Sustainable Development Goals. Often, this neglect is the result of limited data. When absent from official statistics, children and adults with disabilities remain politically and socially ‘invisible’, increasing their marginalization and exposure to rights violations.
Recent years have seen…
