Most reports provide an overview of one subject in a single nation, although some focus on specific cultures or communities. Some of the reports here discuss the status of children within the context of divorce and inheritance. Reports focused on other issues affecting children appear separately in the “Adoption, Child Custody, Legitimation, and Parentage” project of this campaign.
