From Evidence to Action: Twenty Years of IOM Child Trafficking Data to Inform Policy and Programming
Despite efforts, large numbers of children continue to fall victim to traffickers worldwide, due to inequitable social, economic, environmental and political factors that engender exploitative and discriminatory practices. A critical component of countering trafficking is reliable and up-to-date data, to empirically ground interventions, though actionable data are limited, and child victims are typically hard to reach. This report, based on analysis of extensive, globally sourced data, is the first of its kind and analyses primary data from more than 69,000 victims of trafficking of 156 nationalities, trafficked in 186 countries, who registered with IOM in its 113 countries of operation, using the IOM Victims of Trafficking Database (VoTD) - the largest available international database of individual victims of trafficking.

Often, people live for many years in unstable environments and only decide to leave as a last resort. Most people want to stay and are attached to their lands. A recent survey by Mixed Migration Centre shows that 50% of men and 40% of women surveyed in different African countries expressed hope and optimism for the future, despite experiencing severe impact of climate change. Read the Global Trends Report to stay informed on the current state of global forced displacement. It contains data and context on the impact of conflict and the growing contribution of climate change, but also on the positive developments of the past year. The numbers are shocking and behind each one is a man, woman or child who needs our help now more than ever.

Advancing rights, transforming lives: UNFPA strategic engagement with the United Nations human rights system to advance sexual and reproductive health and rights.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The international human rights system is the result of a tremendous investment of time, political capital and other resources by the international community over many decades since the founding of the United Nations in 1945. Successes include the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and nine core human rights treaties, and the establishment of various United Nations human rights monitoring mechanisms. Significant challenges remain, however, in terms of effective domestication by countries of these international agreements and in their implementation on the ground.

10 July 2023: The Sustainable Development Goals Report 2023: Special Edition provides a powerful call to action, presenting a candid assessment of the SDGs based on the latest data and estimates. While highlighting the existing gaps and urging the world to redouble its efforts, the report also emphasizes the immense potential for success through strong political will and the utilization of available technologies, resources, and knowledge. Together, the global community can reignite progress towards achieving the SDGs and create a brighter future for all. According to the report, the impacts of the climate crisis, the war in Ukraine, a weak global economy, and the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have revealed weaknesses and hindered progress towards the Goals. The report further warns that while lack of progress is universal, it is the world’s poorest and most vulnerable who are experiencing the worst effects of these unprecedented global challenges. It also points out areas that need urgent action to rescue the SDGs and deliver meaningful progress for people and the planet by 2030.
