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.

Hello, I am writing to you from Veracruz, Mexico. We are aware of everything that is happening in your country. There are no words that can help with your pain, but with all my heart, I hope all of this passes in the best way and form, and that you can be reunited with all your loved ones, that you can study, and achieve your goals in life.

I hope that all of this serves as a lesson to the world and that your pain is not in vain. Take great care of yourself; I wish you much strength, hope, and health. From Veracruz, we pray for you.
