- Every day, 1,600 women and more than 10,000 newborns die globally due to complications that could have been prevented.
- Approximately 15 million children under the age of 18 have lost one or both parents to AIDS.
- 20 million children have had to leave their homes due to war. This is roughly the population of Australia.
- An estimated 1.2 million children are trafficked every year, many for sexual exploitation or cheap labor.
