Comic book
Comic book " My Rights and My Duties. About Convention on the Rights of the Child with Children" is the most significant part of the campaign. The authors of the book are fabulous and talented children. Through their drawings they speak aloud about the right to life and growth, about the necessity of respect, the fear of discrimination, the fright of violence and abuse, about the privilege of education, acceptance towards disabled, the need for liberty and the wish to live and to be brought up in the family. They speak, not only about rights of the child. These values concern the whole human rights matters. The young authors inform about their rights and at the same time they teach us how to take responsibility for those rights and regulations. They call for the need for communication, acceptance, openness to others, respect to others in the same way as self-respect. However, it depends on us, adults, if the children of today will be self-confident and happy children of tomorrow. Whether aware of their rights, will be ready to give them to the others. Whether taught their rights and freedoms, will have enough courage to enforce them. It's our responsibility, probably the greatest one we have in our life, to bring up a happy child, a happy human being. This book is the first step to reach that.
THE RIGHT TO RESPECT AND DIGNITY, THE DUTY TO RESPECT SELF AND OTHERS.
THE RIGHT TO EXPRESS FREE THOUGHT, CONSCIENCE AND RELIGION BELIEF, RESPECT FOR OTHER'S RIGHT TO DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW OR RELIGIOUS BELIEF, AND THE FREEDOM TO EXPRESS IT.
