Grim stories of conflict, abuse, and deprivation seem to confront us every day. That's why at year's end we like to highlight the progress made for children. Here are 10 good news stories for kids in 2023:

1. For the first time, Rohingya children of all ages in refugee camps in Bangladesh were able to receive a formal education. A record 300,000 children enrolled in the Myanmar curriculum, a dramatic increase from 2021, when a pilot project reached just 10,000 children.

2. Three US states-Connecticut, Vermont, and Michigan-banned child marriage, while Minnesota, New Mexico, and Illinois banned life without parole sentences for child offenders.

3. Girls in Mexico gained greater access to abortion as Mexico's Supreme Court ordered that Congress must eliminate federal criminal penalties for abortion.

4. Sierra Leone enacted a far-reaching education law that prohibits corporal punishment, guarantees 13 years of free schooling, and protects the rights of pregnant and parenting students as well as students with disabilities.

5. Australia and Guyana endorsed the Safe Schools Declaration, bringing the total to 118 countries that have committed to protect schools, teachers, and students during armed conflict.

6. Iraq signed an action plan with the United Nations to prevent the recruitment and use of children as combatants by the Popular Mobilization Forces, a government-allied force that has previously used children to fight against the the extremist armed group Islamic State (also known as ISIS).

7. European Union negotiators agreed on the text of a new law that will require companies to address human rights in their supply chains, including child labor and other child rights abuses.

8. The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child launched authoritative guidance, drawing on inputs from 16,000 children in 121 countries, detailing governments' obligations to protect children's rights in the face of climate change and other environmental crises.

9. Brazil, India, and the United States acted to protect the online privacy of millions of students by removing ad tracking from learning websites, ordering security audits, and fining online learning platforms for using children's data for non-educational purposes.

10. Bulgaria, Slovakia, South Africa, and Peru destroyed their stocks of cluster munitions, which disproportionately kill and injure children. All 112 states party to the Convention on Cluster Munitions have now fulfilled their obligation to destroy their stockpiles of these deadly weapons.

A great deal more still needs to be done for children, and 2024 will bring new challenges. Governments can't rest on their laurels. They need to step up efforts to protect children and advance their rights.

Why do we need to look at a World Map?

We need a world map to act as a reference point to all that what is happening in various parts of the world. A world Map works best with the data set it is mashed-up with. A World Map is a representation of all continents and countries in the world. Looking at a world map tells us the depth and shallowness of our knowledge about our world, at the same time.

Clickable Map of the World with Countries

All efforts have been made to make this World Map accurate. However Compare Infobase Limited, its directors and employees do not own any responsibility for the correctness or authenticity of the same.

The 206 listed states of the United Nations depicted on the world map are divided into three categories: 193 member states, 2 observer states, and 11 other states. The 191 sovereign states, are the countries whose sovereignty is official, and no disputes linger. There are 15 states under the category of "sovereignty dispute". There are 5 member states, 1 observer state and 9 other states. This image of map of the world is current as on date January 01, 2019.
