ChildFund Alliance World Index on the Rights of Women and Children

The “ChildFund Alliance World Index on the Rights of Women and Children” is a flagship report of ChildFund Alliance. Formerly known as the WeWorld Index and published since 2015 by WeWorld, the Index measures the living conditions of women and children in 157 countries worldwide by assessing the implementation of their rights. The index is composed of 30 indicators grouped into 15 dimensions, which refer to 4 fundamental areas: health, education, economy and society, and the environmental and cultural context.  

The 2024 thematic Focus is on the "right to the future" of children and adolescents. ChildFund Alliance has developed and articulated its understanding of the right to the future as a lens for analyzing and addressing the multidimensional crises young and new generations must face.To better understand these challenges, the section includes original data and reflects the voices of 10,000 children and adolescents from 41 countries, a participatory exercise that explored their hopes, dreams, and fears about the future.  

The publication concludes with a set of recommendations, calling on governments and institutions to actively engage children and adolescents in shaping public policies, ensuring their voices are heard and empowering them to help build a fairer and more sustainable future.
