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.

هذه قصيدة من تأليفي بعنوان غزة التي نريدها

حلمت بوطني وطن العظماء رأيت في حلمي أطفالاً يرتدون أجمل رداء عمارات لا بل أبراج عالية البناء فوق كل برج مسابح تشبه مسابح الأغنياء أطفال من حولي يلعبون ويمرحون بهناء لا فرق بين معلم مهندس وأطباء كل شعبي يد واحدة، إنهم ورثة الأنبياء تمنيت أن يصبح حلمي حقيقة وليس بفناء

English Translation

I dreamed of my homeland, a land of greats In my dream,

I saw children wearing the most beautiful clothes

Not just buildings, but high-rising towers

Atop every tower, swimming pools like those of the wealthy

Children all around me, playing and frolicking in happiness

No difference between a teacher, an engineer, or doctors

All my people as one hand; they are the heirs of the prophets

I wished for my dream to become a reality and not just a fleeting thought
