The state of the world's children 2007 (pdf 1.83mb)

This report intends to provide a road map to accelerate progress towards gender equality and empowering women through education, financing, legislation, legislative quotas, engaging men and boys, women empowering women and improved research and data.

The report shows how promoting gender equality and empowering women (Millennium Development Goal number 3), will propel all of the other goals:

- From reducing poverty and hunger
- To saving children's lives
- Ensuring universal education
- Improving maternal health
- Combating HIV and AIDS, malaria and other diseases
- Ensuring environmental sustainability

The report explores gender promotion, equality and the empowering of women in relation to the lives of children in three distinct arenas:

- The household
- The workplace
- The political sphere
