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.

EL PRECIO DE JUGAR

Los niños que han tenido una bala cerca de la cabeza

Son más valientes que un político independiente

Por qué los políticos se esconden y mandan a matar y los niños mueren por intentar jugar

English Translation

The Price of Playing

The children who have had a bullet pass near their head

Are braver than an independent politician

Why do the politicians hide and give the orders to kill

While the children die just for trying to play?

The violence in my country against young children. La violencia que hay en mi país hacia los niñ@s menores
