CONSIDER FOR URBAN GIRL CHILDREN
The State of the World’s Children 2012
More than half of the world’s 7 billion people now live in urban
areas. What does this mean for children? UNICEF has dedicated the 2012 edition
of its flagship report, The
State of the World’s Children, to the situation of children
growing up in urban settings. Cities are known to generate economic growth –
but, as the report reveals, not all children are benefiting from urban
expansion. In this increasingly urban world, the absence of a sustained focus
on child rights means that some children are being left behind.
