What Children Want vs. Reality

Date

January 20 2003


  • 150 million children in developing countries are underweight, which increases the risk of death and inhibits mental and physical development.
  • Since 1990, over 2 million children have been killed and 6 million have been seriously injured in wars.
  • Legally binding, ILO Convention No. 182 protects children from abuse and exploitation. Some 180 million children aged 5–17 are believed to be engaged in the worst forms of child labour – 1 child in every 8 worldwide.
  • Every year, 1.2 million children are trafficked.
  • 14 million children currently under 15 years old have lost 1 or both parents to AIDS.
