L'Italia si distingue per il più alto livello di privazione infantile d'Europa con il 16,6% di minori segnati da povertà materiali: lo afferma il nuovo Rapporto su "I diritti dell’infanzia e dell’adolescenza in Italia" presentato ieri da da Save the Children. Stime recenti valutano in 17 milioni i bambini in stato di povertà in Europa, con l’Italia al secondo posto per minori poveri. Secondo l’Unicef il 16,3% dei bambini nel nostro paese vive al di sotto della soglia nazionale della povertà. Una fascia di bambini e ragazzi particolarmente vulnerabile è quella dei minori migranti che rischiano di cadere vittime di sfruttamento sia sessuale che lavorativo e di devianza: sono quasi 6.500 i minori stranieri non accompagnati in Italia. “La diffusione della prostituzione minorile, a volte collegata alla tratta dei minori, è una delle facce della scarsa tutela e solitudine dei minori stranieri, benché il fenomeno coinvolga anche molti minori italiani" - ha fatto notare Arianna Saulini, coordinatrice del Gruppo di Lavoro del Rapporto.

Having a female as the governor of the State Bank of Pakistan or having two couples of female air force officers may not begin to address the problem of female equality or female rights.
