State of the World's Mothers 2005

In commemoration of Mother's Day, Save the Children is publishing its sixth annual State of the World’s Mothers report. By focusing on girls’ education as a way to ensure a more healthy and prosperous future for all children, this report highlights the urgent need to reach the 58 million girls who are not attending school. It shines a spotlight on countries that are succeeding in getting and keeping girls in school and shows that effective solutions to this challenge are affordable – even in the world’s poorest countries.
