20-year-old Sadia Akhter from #Bangladesh smiles as she is holding her newborn twins in her arms. Sadia recalled that her brother had had a very difficult time because of inconsistent information in his birth certificate, and she didn't want her daughters to face such obstacles. "After my twin girls were born, health workers from the Upazilla health complex visited our home to gather information. A week later, my husband went to receive their birth certificates at the local councilor's office. It was so simple! This will work to both vaccinate them and enroll them in school," explains Sadia. Having a legal identity is a fundamental human right and helps governments centralize voter, education and birth registration. The #UnitedNations Development Programme (UNDP) supports civil registration and national ID systems in more than 25 countries around the world.
