Put birth registration at the top of your agenda

Shaheeda and Shojun from Dhaka, Bangladesh, are among the 40 million people who have benefited from Plan's global birth registration campaign since it launched in 2005.

Over 51 million births go unregistered every year, leaving children invisible - without a legal identity or nationality. This makes them vulnerable to abuse and exploitation, and denies them access to services such as education.

For Shaheeda, her birth certificate proved she was too young to be married at the age of 15, while Shojun, aged 12, was released from an adult prison where the inmates faught and intimidated him.
