Commission of the Status of Women (CSW) March 2017 in
New York.
The EUW has put forward its proposition for discussion.
Christiane Tricot, EUW representative at the UN, and Françoise Sème-Wallon,  agreed by the EUW president, wrote the
following:
Unregistered children: a fight for equal access to education, health and personal security
350 million children worldwide are not registered, three quarters of them are girls. Their non registration
makes them ghost people. This is the first violence against girls. Their lack of recognition is a civil death, opening them up to abuse and human trafficking. This excludes them «a priori» from any integration in society, in particular regarding access to education,
training, and employment, social and medical services.
This state continues throughout their lives and makes them easy prey and helpless. These children are often victims of severe abuse (violence, organ trafficking, slave trade).
Many unregistered children are on European territory and are part of the
​10 000 missing after their registration on entry to the European Union.”
