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.

English Translation

Hellooo, I hope that soon you have much peace and happiness. You have to be strong in the most difficult moments. I am Aimee; I wish you the best in the world. I wouldn’t want you to be going through this, but nothing can be done except to give it your all.

You are the best, you are worth a thousand, never forget it, remind yourselves of it always. This situation is going to end and you will be very, very happy. Cheer up!

Hugs and support from Veracruz, Mexico; here you have people who wish you the best.
