The report describes violence and abuse against women and girls that ranges
from dowry killings in India and domestic violence in the US to the continuing
problem of female genital mutilation.
UNICEF is also alarmed about the spread of the AIDS virus.
By the year 2010 will be the cause of 41-percent of infant deaths in Kenya

And there are concerns about sanitation issues.
The report finds that while the number of people who have access to clean

As a result, waste often contaminates water supplies-- and increases the
