LATIN AMERICA:
Born on
the Streets - Just One of
Millions of Poor Children
A baby was
born on the streets of the
Mexican capital this week. Just
two days old, she still hasn't
been given a name. Her parents,
homeless youngsters, say they
are happy, but that they don't
know how they will support her.
Her father, Jesús Omar, who has
lived on the streets since he
was 10, and his tiny daughter
who was born on Tuesday are just
a few of the millions of
youngsters in Latin America for
whom ”childhood” is an empty
word.
Between 56 and 59 percent of
children and adolescents in
Latin America and the Caribbean
are poor, the regional director
of the United Nations children's
fund (UNICEF), Nils Kastberg,
said Thursday at the release of
the Latin American section of
the ”State of the World's
Children - 2005: Childhood Under
Threat” report.
