United Nations – “21st Century”, is a half-hour, monthly news magazine series produced by United Nations Television. We focus on under-reported stories from around the world, told through the personal experiences of those affected.

Featuring balanced reporting and, often unique access, this award-winning series covers issues from human rights to climate change; from combatting terrorism to the global migration issue; from health to development.

In India – a child is abducted every 8 minutes. Most are girls. A third are never found. We follow the story of two girls who went missing – and one man’s struggle to find them before they are lost forever.

Canada is facing an under-reported crisis. Since 1980, more than eleven hundred indigenous women and girls have been murdered or gone missing. The brutal murder of a 15-year old rallied the nation to stand up to the violence.
