UNICEF's Global Birth Registration Campaign

UNICEF's Global Birth Registration Campaign aims to ensure that every child is officially recorded at birth. Registering a birth provides a legal identity, helping children access vital services like healthcare, education, and protection under the law. The campaign addresses barriers such as lack of awareness, infrastructure, or cultural practices that hinder registration, especially in underserved communities. By promoting birth registration, UNICEF strives to uphold children's rights, reduce child exploitation, and support sustainable development. The initiative emphasizes the importance of timely, official documentation as a foundation for a child's future opportunities and protection.
