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

Hello everyone, my name is Alejandro from Mexico, Veracruz—the land of the Jarochos. In these last weeks, we have found out what is happening there in your country, Palestine. Everyone is scared of what Israel said, but we all want to tell the Palestinians—meaning you—not to give up, to be strong. Sometimes the world does not see what happens, but many people are supporting you. Be happy; there is still hope for you. You must keep fighting until the end. You are the children of Palestine; ‘without you, the world is nothing.’ Without you, humanity is lost. You are a true people with soul, heart, and spirit.

For example, the country of Poland in the Second World War; Poland did not surrender against Germany, and Poland resisted.

Today we are living through something similar to the Second World War, but we are all going to stop that.

Long life to Palestine … Long live Palestine eternally.
