 In a statement made at the UN Special Session on Children, children asked world leaders to ensure every child’s right to health care, education and healthy environments.

• Children who are not registered at birth are denied their identity, a recognized name and a nationality – all imperative for participation in society. In 2000, over 50 million babies were not registered, 41% of births worldwide.
• Nearly 120 million primary-school-age children are not in school, 53% of them girls.
• Millions of children under five die each year from diseases easily preventable by vaccines.
• Increases in greenhouse gases – such as carbon dioxide – caused by human activities contribute to global warming and climate change, which may lead to famines and other catastrophes.
• Children’s participation, for example in peer groups, is essential to their healthy growth and development.
