dc.description.abstractWithout civil registration women and children, particularly girls, face a vicious cycle of vulnerability and exclusion from social services and civil rights. Lack of birth registration leaves women and children vulnerable throughout their lives. When marriages are not registered, women face barriers accessing spousal or widowhood rights. When causes of death go unregistered, public health authorities lack information for supporting better public health policies. The report details the ways in which women and children are left out of national databases, and their subsequent vulnerability across generations. Community based health workers are a natural bridge to civil registration systems.en
