Birth Registration: A Choice or a Birth Right?
“We never know the worth of water till the well is dry” is a very wise quote which indicates that people take for granted what they have. Birth registration is, for example, something you and I, and so many other people take for granted. However, not every child is fortunate enough to have their birth registered! Having this simple piece of document can ensure the child has a better future, without it this child is not even acknowledged by his own government, meaning he cannot have access to basic rights like being protected and to services like education and healthcare. With a whopping ¼ births of children not recorded worldwide, it is important for us to dig deep into the problem to see what are some reasons behind the problem so that we could efficiently tackle the issue.
