"The Atlas of South Asian Children and Women will help policy makers, development workers and researchers to understand the extent of South Asia's complex problems of human survival and development. The Atlas is illustrated with full-colour maps and charts that provide the most recent data from the seven countries of South Asia at national and sub-national levels. The accompanying text assesses, analyzes--and suggests remedial action--for these key components: The poor rates of survival, growth and development of South Asia's children and women; The inedequate access to food, health and care for the majority of women and children; and - South Asia's potentially adequate, yet often underused, human, economic and organizational resources. Previously, no single reference source has compiled this wide range of data on South Asian children and women. This comprehensive publication also helps to identify statistical gaps and inconsistencies that can be remedied by further research efforts. The Atlas of South Asian Children and Women was prepared by the UNICEF Regional Office for South Asia"--Page 4 of cover.

"The education of girls and women is important not only as a matter of respecting a basic human right for half the population but as a powerful force for economic development and achieving social goals such as enhanced health, nutrition and civic involvement. This Atlas presents the latest data from the UNESCO Institute for Statistics on trends in educational access and progression, from pre-primary through tertiary levels and adult literacy, with special attention to the all-important issue of gender equality. These trends are depicted through colour-coded maps that make it easy for readers to visualize global and regional trends and to understand how they are shaped by factors such as national wealth and geographic location." -- P. [4] of cover.
