Universal Birth Registration

Universal Birth Registration means that every child’s birth is officially recorded with the government, providing them with a legal identity. It ensures that each individual has a documented record of their existence, which is essential for accessing rights such as education, healthcare, and protection under the law. Universal registration aims to eliminate the many children worldwide who remain unregistered, often due to geographical, social, or economic barriers. By registering all births, societies can better plan services and protect children's rights, helping them to grow up with legal recognition and opportunities for a stable future.
