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. We know what you are going through. We know it is not easy, but do not give up—nothing is easy. There is always a solution, and everything will be resolved. From a distance, we support you and wish you the best. We hope that everything is resolved and that you are free. We wish you the best; from here, we will continue supporting you. We hope that soon you are free. Yes, it can be done.
