The State of the World's Children 2004

---

UNICEF's annual report, The State of the World's Children 2004, centered on the theme of "Girls, Education and Development," emphasizing that girls' education is key to breaking the intergenerational cycle of poverty and accelerating the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. With a cover featuring a girl in a classroom with her peers, the report highlights that millions of girls worldwide still face barriers to education due to poverty, gender discrimination, child marriage, domestic workloads, unsafe distances to school, and lack of sanitation facilities. UNICEF outlines the multiplier effects of girls' education: reduced infant and maternal mortality, improved family nutrition and health, increased incomes, and greater participation in decision-making at the household and community levels. The report also highlights good practices from various countries, such as the elimination of school fees, scholarship programs, the development of child-friendly schools, the recruitment of female teachers, and community engagement to change norms that limit girls. Aimed at governments, donors, UN agencies, civil society organizations, and educators, The State of the World’s Children 2004 calls for political commitment and concrete investment so that every girl can go to school, learn, and grow into an agent of change for her family and her nation.
