<strong>UNICEF</strong> as a global force<br />
All children have the same rights whatever their ethnicity, gender, religion<br />
or abilities. Yet every day, children suffer discrimination because they are<br />
poor, they are disabled or simply because they have been born a girl.<br />
This is wrong.<br />
Your support helps <strong>UNICEF</strong> put it right by:<br />
persuading governments to end discrimination<br />
working to change practices that harm children<br />
making sure that children are registered at birth<br />
campaigning on issues such as child poverty<br />
SUDAN : GENITAL CUTTING<br />
“I do not want our daughters to be circumcised. It has caused<br />
me so many problems, and I do not want them to suffer too.”<br />
Amani from northern Sudan resists pressure to cut her<br />
daughters Donya, age 18 months, and Shimus, 4.<br />
The <strong>UNICEF</strong>-supported Saleema Campaign works with<br />
communities and religious leaders to end this harmful practice.<br />
