This 2005 edition of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) flagship publication offers a comprehensive look at the state of childhood around the world at the start of the 21st century. Issued annually since 1980, “The State of the World’s Children” reports have been instrumental in raising awareness and driving policy changes to protect the rights and well-being of children globally. This volume focuses on the threats facing children, from poverty and lack of access to education, to conflict, exploitation, and the HIV/AIDS pandemic. With detailed statistical analysis, personal stories, and policy recommendations, it provides a sobering yet essential snapshot of the challenges children faced in 2005. For collectors, this report represents an important historical document charting the world’s progress (or lack thereof) in fulfilling the UN’s commitment to upholding the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Readers will find valuable context on the major child welfare issues of the era.
