UNICEF launches State of the World's Children 2005 CHILDHOOD UNDER THREAT "Poverty doesn’t persist because of nothing; war doesn’t emerge from nowhere; HIV doesn’t spread by choice of its own. These are our choices (...) Although they may seem intractable, poverty, conflict and AIDS can be curtailed, they can be slowed, they can be bent to our will. Once we decide in favor of protecting childhood, we can accomplish nearly anything." - Carol Bellamy
