Rights of children

In the last days, while I was surfing in internet, I discovered this images, and I started to think again to the lesson of children’s Rights by Anne Mette Danielsen.
These images captured my attention because there are lots of simple drawings, that I can use with children to explain their rights. It’s very important that children know their rights to defend themselves from many dangers that there are now in the world. In all the drawings there is the same sentence, that says:

“all children, boys and girls, (we) have the right of:”

a) a life, a name and a nationality;
b) love , care and attention by family
c) being all equal: black and white, sick and healthy, believer and not believer
d) living in one home, have food, hygiene and dresses in order not to become sick, if we get sick we have the right to be nursed
e) studying and playing
f) knowing and love our country and history
g) a love, care, education when we have difficulties to see, hear, speak, express
h) protection in the work because lots of us are compelled to work
i) knowing , thinking, speaking, deciding, and joining together with other children
j) Protection from drug ,sexual abuse, and other forms of violence
k) Being respected and treated as children, to apply the right law if we have troubles with the police
l) Being first rescued in case of earthquake, seaquake, flood or another danger
m) Living in peace and brotherhood with children of all countries
n) Demanding the state to let us know our rights, that it respects them and have them respected.

For what concerns the art. G, I remembered that in one journal in Italy there was an article that talked about the education of children in particular in the new countries like Africa and Asia. This article said that to solve many problems in these countries the education of girls is necessary: too many girls and teenagers didn’t have the opportunity of being educated, that’s why they are now uneducated and therefore unable to improve their social condition, including their children and their community.
There is a close link between education and vulnerability of hungry, abuse, exploitation and traffic of human people. The risks connected to pregnancy raise day by day: it’s very difficult to use a specific strategy of preventive treating in case of diseases because of bad hygienic habits. But educated girls would have more opportunities to grant good health and education to their children.

The education is necessary to stop waisting the big human abilities, the most important base for every single credible project of future development.
