http://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/namibia_51570.html WINDHOEK, Namibia, 28 October 2009—A novel idea for children has become a reality, now that the Namibian Ministry of Home Affairs and Immigration has set up an office in the maternity ward at Katutura State Hospital, the main public hospital in Windhoek. This UNICEF-supported effort is designed to ensure that every child born at the hospital receives a birth certificate. In Namibia, 81 per cent of women deliver their babies in a hospital, yet 40 per cent of Namibian children under the age of five lack birth certificates. Children without birth certificates are more vulnerable to abuse, trafficking and early marriage, and have less access to government services and schooling. In this case, the Ministry of Health is providing facilities and the Ministry of Home Affairs and Immigration provides the staff to register the children, said UNICEF Representative in Namibia Ian MacLeod. They have broken down the traditional barriers of ministries not working together in the best interest of kids, he added

http://www.unicef.org/spanish/infobycountry/mexico_51261.html MÉXICO D.F., México, 30 de septiembre, 2009 - En un evento que marca el inicio de la conmemoración del XX aniversario de la Convención sobre los Derechos del Niño, la cantautora Julieta Venegas fue nombrada Embajadora de Buena Voluntad de UNICEF en México. Su designación como Embajadora de UNICEF refleja el compromiso que ha mostrado participando en varias iniciativas de UNICEF en México. En 2007, Julieta Venegas apoyó, junto a otras personalidades, en la campaña "Regalos de corazón", orientada a movilizar a la opinión pública en torno a los derechos de la infancia. En 2008 y 2009 participó en visitas de campo, tanto a la frontera norte como a la frontera sur, para conocer y difundir la realidad que viven los niños y niñas migrantes no acompañados y el trabajo que se lleva a cabo para protegerlos. Al asumir la responsabilidad como Embajadora, Julieta Venegas expresó que para ella "es un gran honor haber sido nombrada Embajadora de UNICEF y poder ser parte de tan valiosa labor. Me parece que lo que UNICEF logra es muy importante y me da mucha emoción formar parte de este esfuerzo, desde mi modesta contribución".
