Annual flagship report
The State of the World's Children 2004
Girls, education and developmentThe State of the World’s Children 2004 presents girls' education as one of the most crucial issues facing the international development community. Go to Press Kit
The report argues that the theories, policies and practices of development have been marked by gender discrimination and that the standard approach to development has focused on economic growth rather than human welfare. Through The State of the World's Children 2004, UNICEF calls on every nation engaged in development to make the education of all children - with an emphasis on girls - a major focus of investment.
