This paper discusses the issue of racial discrimination as it affects migrants and refugees and populations identified by caste.

United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF). (2005). The State of the World's Children 2006: Excluded and Invisible. 156 p. "The State of the World's Children 2006: Excluded and Invisible is a sweeping assessment of the world's most vulnerable children, whose rights to a safe and healthy childhood are exceptionally difficult to protect. The report describes in detail how these children - poor, exploited and abused - are being ignored, growing up beyond the reach of development campaigns and often invisible in everything from public debate and legislation to statistics and news stories."

United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). (2004). The State of the World's Children 2004. 156 p. The negative effects of not attending school are greater for girls than for boys – and their impact transfers to the next generation of both boys and girls.

United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) Innocenti Research Centre. (2002). Birth Registration: Right from the Start. In Innocenti Digest. No 9, March 2002. Florence: UNICEF. 34 p. This Digest looks at birth registration as a fundamental human right that opens the door to other rights, including education and health care, participation and protection. It explains why the births of more than 50 million babies go unregistered every year. In legal terms, these children do not exist and their right to an official name and nationality is denied. Their access to basic services may be severely jeopardised and they may find themselves more vulnerable to abuse and exploitation.
