In the space of a generation the world has halved child mortality and the number of out-of-school children. But millions of children have been bypassed by these recent gains. Completing the task of ending preventable child deaths, and ensuring that every child learns through a quality education, will be much harder, and require different strategies from those that got the world to where we are today.
Save the Children’s Every Last Child Campaign is about justice. It’s about the right of every child to healthcare, to education, to shelter and food. Today, far too frequently, the rights of children are being denied. And that is not an accident. Choices are being made at the systems level, by governments, businesses, and the public, to let children’s rights go unfulfilled and to let children suffer. We need to start making a different choice. And we need to start now.
