Queen Rania for the United Nations
Queen Rania Receives the World's Children 2005 Report
Amman, Dec. 14 (Petra)--Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah
received at the Royal Cultural Center, in the presence of Chief
Chamberlain HRH Prince Raad Bin Zeid, Mayor of Amman Nidal Al
Hadid and officials from the public and private sector, the World's
Children 2005 Report from UNICEF Jordan Representative, Anne
Skatvedt.
Under the theme of "Children under Threat", the UNICEF report
uncovers the magnitude of remaining challenges the world has yet to
tackle in order to ensure that children are not denied their
childhood.
The report highlights the unresolved impediments to the
development of children such as poverty, armed conflict and HIV/AIDS.
The publication of "Children Protect Themselves" focuses on the
importance of life skills in helping adolescents, a time when young
people are most vulnerable, to protect themselves, to help
understand themselves and to interact positively with others.
"Jordan is contributing at many levels and in innovative ways to
ensuring that every child enjoys their right to a childhood and to
protection," said Anne Skatvedt, UNICEF Jordan Representative on
the eve of the launch.
This year, Jordan also finalized its third report to the
International Child Rights Committee (CRC) in Geneva. There are
still many challenges ahead, and the report shows that Jordan has
taken positive steps towards harmonizing its legislation with the
Convention on the Rights of the Child.
President of the Higher Council for Youth Dr. Ma'moun Norridin
said that Queen Rania's Patronage of this even affirms that Jordan
works seriously to arm children and youth with the basic life skills
they need to confront challenges. He said that the council believes
in good preparation and habilitation of youth in line with His
Majesty King Abdullah's directives to give attention and care to
children.

Queen Rania has been an active patron of the UN for years, weve created this separate thread for her work with the organization.
In 2006, she was invited to join the board of the United Nations Foundation and in 2007 she became UNICEFs first Eminent Advocate for Children.
Please use this thread to post all related current news and information.

I was pleasantly surprised to see Rania working yesterday, I had thought she would be busy preparing for their international tour.
It's interesting that they mention the 2012 Olympics because the organisers here have been keen to stress that they want the event to create a legacy, as opposed to just a summer of fun.

Thanks for the link, Veram98. The whole issue of child protection is quite a controversial one at the moment as there have been three or four high profile cases in the UK media.

Queen calls on leaders to prioritise girls education
Her Majesty Queen Rania on Tuesday called on leaders from all sectors to prioritise girls education.
Addressing a high-level Education for All summit in Oslo, Norway, she lauded Prime Minister Jens Stoltenbergs unfailing leadership - financially and morally, and also highlighted the efforts of Canada, the UK, the Netherlands and Sweden for championing the right of girls to go to school.
It isnt often that the logic behind a policy is so clear. But when it comes to the value of educating girls, the evidence speaks for itself, she told the audience, which included Norways queen and crown prince, the president of Senegal, and UNESCO Director General Kochiro Matsuura. Jordan Times
