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 children of Palestine,

I know—well, everyone here in Veracruz supports you. We cannot do much, but we know that soon things will pass and everything will be fixed. We know that you are suffering, but it is only a moment; it will not be forever. After so much pain and suffering, something good will come. I wish you much health; we all know what you are going through.
