Every child should know the rights they have

She is taking part of this event today because she finds it important that we all have to realize that a lot of other Syrian children, including other children coming conflict zones, have lived in horrific situations and cannot always enjoy their basic rights. Therefore, children’s rights are important and children themselves need to be aware of their rights. Through the eyes of a young Syrian girl you will see how important it is for children to have rights, and that they have access to their rights, especially for children that have lived in conflict zones.
