Research Around the Word

          For this blog assignment we needed to research some of the current international research topics. It was a fun and interesting assignment. I visited many different websites and explored the different topics being researched around the world. Here are some of the research topics I found from the UNICEF website http://www.unicef-irc.org/ "Research supported by UNICEF – whether undertaken with partners or independently – takes place across a range of geographic, social and economic settings and needs to respond to different thematic priorities and accommodate different levels of research capacity" 
I found a wonderful publication from UNICEF that is called The Best of UNICEF Research, this publication  presents the top 12 studies. It is an annual publication "that promotes the sharing and recognition of quality research for children".

One of the studies was about a recent research study by UNICEF in East Asia and the Pacific. This research "has broken new ground by gathering data on child maltreatment from every country in the region and by developing a model from which the minimum economic associated costs can be established" (p. 7)
Another study was Water Sanitation and hygiene in Bolivian schools; Empowering girls through WASH. (WASH: WAter, Sanitation, and Hygiene)

The Best of UNICEF Research was a wonderful read and I learned so much about the many research projects around the world. I recommend if you get a chance to check it out.

    Hi Brandie,

    I find this topic concerning some interesting fact about maltreatment, I once was enrolled in a class and I researched articles concerning this manner. In today's society, children are involved in the court system as victims of abuse and neglect. This manner is very touching because it is to often seen within my city as well as publish news wise. Thanks for sharing this week.

    Brandie,

    I like this topic and personally like UNICEF information for not only that it is accurate information but I like the fact that it always has updated information to share. It always breaks my heart to hear how bad children and their families have to live in certain conditions and especially how malnourished they are.
    Thanks for sharing!!

    Brandie,
    Great information. I love UNICEF. They always have such amazing information. I am always taken aback to the things I take for granted each day. Having water and the ability to be hydrated and hygienic is something that I know I don't think about everyday, but there are people everyday without that luxury. Thank you for sharing!
