This is an under-researched topic. There is much more analysis to be done on how social protection affects minority children and what policies and approaches are effective in different contexts. The disparities in child survival, development and protection point to a simple truth: the MDGs and other international commitments to children can only be fully realized, both to the letter and in the spirit of the Millennium Declaration and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, through greater emphasis on equity among and within regions and countries. I would like to end by quoting the words of UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake during the MDG Summit earlier this year: "We can't be satisfied with opportunity for anyone until there is opportunity for everyone."
