Art from the Heart

This is the digital exhibition of artworks and message from children all over the world prepared by the Children's Advisory Team of Child Rights Connect. The goal is to support the discussion at the Annual Day on the Rights of the Child at the UN Human Rights Council about children in armed conflict by showing how children see the world, how conflict affects them, and what they want adults and decision makers to do to protect them.

Children’s voices matter. Their views matter. Even, and especially, in times of war. When children are listened to, peace becomes possible.

Veracruz, Mexico. 09/11/25

Hello, we just want to tell you that we support you, and we will do whatever is in our power; just do not give up. Look for happiness in the small things. [We send] unconditional support because you are the world’s hope; you are the cause of the struggle; you make our society visible. Be brave—because being brave does not mean not having fear, it means having fear and still seeking to move forward.

We are here at your service, friends. =)
