The State of the World's Children - UNICEF

The 2013 edition of The State of the World’s Children is dedicated to the situation of children with disabilities. This UNICEF report examines the barriers that deprive children with disabilities of their rights and keep them from participating fully in society, such as inaccessible buildings, dismissive attitudes, and invisibility in official statistics.  It also lays out some of the key elements of inclusive societies that respect and protect the rights of children with disabilities, adequately support them and their families, and nurture their abilities, so that they may take advantage of opportunities to flourish and make their contribution to the world.
