Great new data on birth registration by @unicef.org . Incredible stories of progress (Southern Asia 39 -> 76% coverage in 15 years) and challenges (only 15% of U5 children in Oceania have their birth certificate). Globally, 3 in 5 unregistered births are in Africa data.unicef.org/resources/th...
The chart is a donut chart illustrating the distribution of unregistered children under the age of five globally. The primary insight is that over 150 million children lack birth registration, with a majority concentrated in specific regions. Key Highlights: Sub-Saharan Africa is the most affected region, with 90 million unregistered children. This includes: Eastern Africa: 43 million Western Africa: 25 million Middle Africa: 21 million Southern Africa: 1 million Central and Southern Asia follows with 42 million unregistered children: Southern Asia contributes the majority with 42 million, while Central Asia has less than 100,000 unregistered children. Eastern and South-Eastern Asia accounts for 7 million unregistered children. Northern Africa and Western Asia have 8 million unregistered children. Latin America and the Caribbean report 2 million unregistered children. Oceania (excluding Australia and New Zealand) has 1 million unregistered children.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #2,417,389! Wild I've been here for less than a year and the number of users has quadroupled in that time. Spread the word that this is better than the other place and can become its own place.

#FridayReads Piranesi by Susanna Clarke. Reading and finishing the book felt like drinking from the most refreshing cup of water.
The German edition cover of Susanna Clarke's book Piranesi. The cover depicts a hall of Grecian-style columns with a statue at the end of the hall. Rough seas cover the floor of the hall.
