This document outlines the human rights of persons placed in institutions. It discusses key principles like equality, autonomy, and community living. It notes that over 1.2 million children and adults with disabilities live in long-stay institutions across Europe. Placement in institutions can harm development and exclude individuals from society. Both UN and Council of Europe bodies stress the need for deinstitutionalization. The document analyzes relevant human rights standards and their application to ensuring proper care, consent to treatment, monitoring, and developing alternatives to institutionalization for children, persons with disabilities, and older persons.
Towards the elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV in low-prevalence and concentrated epidemic settings in Eastern Europe and Central Asia - Report prepared by Claire Thorne (MRC), Ruslan Malyuta (UNICEF), Nina Ferencic (UNICEF), Jadranka Mimica (UNICEF) and Irina Eramova (WHO), published January 2011
The survey measured Montenegrin citizens' attitudes toward social inclusion of children with disabilities. It found that acceptance of relationships with children with disabilities has increased since a previous campaign on abilities. Citizens now find living in the same community, attending the same school, and socializing with children who have vision, hearing, physical, or mobility impairments to be more acceptable. However, attitudes toward children with emotional or socialization disorders still lag behind. The survey provides insight into changing perspectives on children with disabilities in Montenegro.
Immunization is a core component of the human right to
health and an individual, community and government responsibility. Protected from the threat of vaccine –preventable diseases, immunized children have the opportunity to thrive and a better chance of realizing their full potential.
POSHAN District Nutrition Profile_Sambalpur_OdishaPOSHAN
POSHAN District Nutrition Profiles (DNPs) draw on diverse sources of data to compile a set of indicators on the state of nutrition and its cross-sectoral determinants. The profiles are intended to be conversation-starters at the district level and to enable discussions about why undernutrition levels are high, and which factors, at multiple levels, might need to be addressed to improve nutrition.
PLEASE NOTE that POSHAN is regularly tracking data sources as they are released and updating the profiles accordingly.

Knowledge, attitudes and practices of parents from the northern municipalities regarding pre-school education (December 2014) by IPSOS and UNICEF Montenegro
The document appears to be asking respondents to indicate which types of relationships they find acceptable between children with disabilities and others. It lists several potential relationships and provides percentage figures but does not provide any meaningful context around the relationships or percentages.
The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child turned 25 in November 2014. This compendium highlights the events and celebrations organized by UNICEF in cooperation with partner organizations and children around the world.
It is right and just for young Roma children and their futures to be at the centre of this important research.
The Roma Early Childhood Inclusion+ (RECI+) Studies and Reports are a joint initiative between the Sponsoring Agencies, namely: the Roma ‘Kopaçi’ Initiatives at the Early Childhood Program (ECP) of Open Society Foundations (OSF), the Roma Education Fund (REF) and UNICEF.

The 2014 Serbia Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) and 2014 Serbia Roma Settlements Multiple Indicator Cluster
Survey were carried out in 2014 by the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia as part of the global MICS programme.
Technical and financial support was provided by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).
The global MICS programme was developed by UNICEF in the 1990s as an international household survey programme
to support countries in the collection of internationally comparable data on a wide range of indicators on the situation of children and women. MICS surveys measure key indicators that allow countries to generate data for use in policies and programmes, and to monitor progress towards the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and other internationally agreed upon commitments.
This document summarizes a study on investing in early childhood education in Montenegro. It finds that preschool education has significant benefits for child development and prepares children for primary education. Currently, preschool coverage in Montenegro reaches around 60% of children ages 3 to 6, with wide variations between municipalities. The study estimates the annual costs of providing full-time preschool for one child to be around €2,000. It models the costs of introducing universal three-hour preschool preparatory programs and expanding coverage to all children ages 3 to 6, finding it would require around €20 million annually. The study provides recommendations to improve access to quality early childhood education in Montenegro.
This document summarizes research on the impact of television on children. It discusses how television is a powerful medium that influences children's understanding of reality. Through observational learning, children are more likely to emulate behaviors that are frequently modeled and rewarded. Research by Albert Bandura found that children who observed aggressive behaviors on television were more likely to display aggression themselves. While some studies link television to increased aggression in children, the relationship is complex and positive modeling could also influence prosocial behaviors.
This document provides an overview of the results of a research study on children's expectations from political parties regarding children's rights in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). The study found that children are most concerned about lack of food, safe housing, and ability to afford education. Children also face issues like bullying, lack of leisure activities, and domestic violence. Most children are aware of their basic rights but not entirely clear on what all rights mean. Children see politicians as chiefly responsible for issues they face. The study aims to advocate for inclusion of children's issues in party platforms and policies.
