Proof She Exists
One in five children worldwide doesn’t officially exist.
Globally, nearly 150 million children under age five remain unregistered. Without proof of her identity, a girl can be denied education, health care and protection, putting her at greater risk of exploitation, abuse and exclusion.
On October 11, International Day of the Girl, Plan International Canada is making the invisible visible. It’s a day we helped establish at the United Nations over 15 years ago, and a reminder that before a girl can access her rights, she must first be seen.
A birth certificate is the first step. But being seen also means having your voice heard and your potential recognized.
When girls can shape their own futures, everyone benefits. Families are healthier, economies grow, and communities become more resilient.
