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, I am writing this letter from Mexico, Veracruz. My friends and I trust in you; do not think about giving up. You are strong; hope still exists. We do not forget you; we know that you are suffering. We want all of this to end already. We send you a big hug from a distance. Take care of yourselves; you are not lost. We will pray for you. May your strength not run out.
