Universal Birth Registration

I didn't know birth registration was an issue until I readabout it! That little piece of paper helps ensure that you get access to education, healthcare, or anything else needingidentification. It's shocking to find out that 36% of children born each year (48 million!) are invisible - they aren't registered at birth.

I encourage you to join me in supporting the Campaign for Universal Birth Registration being led by Plan, at http://www.writemedown.org

This is one campaign we could see real progress on quite quickly!
