Dear Friends,

Equity for Children is proud to announce the launch of its new affiliate site, Equidade para a Infância.    This new site emphasizes aspects of child rights and social policy within the context of Latin America.  It also contributes to and advances the work of both the site in English, Equity for Children, and the site in Spanish, Equidad para la Infancia.  All three are closely related and advance the policy agenda  for children’s rights around the world.
