The report showed commitments made three decades ago to protect the rights of children remain unfulfilled for millions. Violence still affects countless children. Discrimination based on age, gender, disability, sexual orientation and religion harms children worldwide.
Key factors include a lack ...of investment in critically important services. Most countries fall well short of spending the 5-6% of GDP needed to ensure universal coverage of essential health care. And foreign aid, which many lower income countries rely on, is falling short in areas such as health, education, protection and child care.
Another factor, the report said, is the lack of quality data. Governments tend to rely on data that reflects national averages, making it difficult to identify the needs of specific children and to monitor progress. Comprehensive data collection and disaggregation of data by gender, age, disability and locality, are increasingly important as rights violations disproportionately affect disadvantaged children.

Internally displaced children are twice invisible in global and national data. First, because internally displaced people (IDPs) of all ages are often unaccounted for. Second, because age-disaggregation of any kind of data is limited, and even more so for IDPs.
Planning adequate responses to meet... the needs of internally displaced children, however, requires having at least a sense of how many there are and where they are. This report presents the first estimates of the number of children living in internal displacement triggered by conflict and violence at the global, regional and national levels.

La Convención sobre los Derechos del Niño de las Naciones Unidas, adoptada hace 30 años, ha contribuido a una transformación de proporciones históricas. En casi todos los indicadores, la calidad de vida de los niños y las niñas es por lo general mucho mejor hoy que hace 30 años. Hoy reciben ...vacunas, se alimentan de manera sana, viven en condiciones seguras y van a la escuela centenares de millones de niños y niñas más que entonces. Las leyes y las políticas reconocen los derechos de la infancia de un modo sin precedentes.
Pero no es momento de celebraciones. En los barrios marginados, las zonas de conflicto, los centros de inmigrantes y las aldeas remotas hay millones de niños y niñas cuyas vidas no han mejorado. Tienen hambre, están enfermos y no tienen acceso a la educación. Muchos sufren violencia, abusos, explotación o descuido. A menudo esto se debe a la discriminación de la que son objeto por su raza, casta o religión, identidad de género (especialmente hacia las niñas), orientación sexual o por tener alguna discapacidad. Son los niños y las niñas que se han dejado atrás. Su situación supone un incumplimiento grave de las promesas que se hicieron a los niños y las niñas en 1989.

La Convención sobre los Derechos del Niño de las Naciones Unidas es el tratado más ampliamente ratificado de la historia. Los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) han sido acordados por todos los gobiernos. La Convención y los ODS van de la mano.
No podremos alcanzar los ODS sin hacer reali...dad los derechos de todos los niños y niñas y viceversa.
El presente informe apela a los Estados para que cumplan sus compromisos con un vigor, una urgencia y una imaginación renovados para que todos los niños y niñas puedan crecer sanos, con acceso a la educación, protegidos de la violencia y con la libertad de elegir cómo quieren vivir sus vidas.
Pero esta tarea no la pueden lograr solo los Estados. Nosotros, como las seis principales ONG internacionales dedicadas a la infancia en todo el mundo, creemos que nuestra aportación es importante.
