The State of the World's Children 2003 reports on child
participation - the 'right' of every child at every age, the
responsibility of governments, organizations and families, and a way
to promote tolerance, respect for human rights, an appreciation of
diversity and peace. The report showcases examples from every region
of the world of how things are different when children's viewpoints
are taken into account. Photos and artwork are by children. The
report includes 9 tables, including a new addition on HIV/AIDS, and
3 maps, which together present a comprehensive set of economic and
social indicators on the well-being of children worldwide.

"Adults miss the point. When is a child considered skilful enough to contribute and participate actively? If you do not give them the opportunity to participate, they will not acquire the skills. Give as a chance and see how we fly."
17-year-old Khairul Azri, a Malaysian delegate to the UN Special Session on Children.
