November 20th is the Universal Cildren's Day!
At the following site you can find the Declaration of the Rights of the Child (1959) and the Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989).
"There is no trust more sacred than the one 
                                  the world holds with children. There is no duty 
                                  more important than ensuring that their rights 
                                  are respected, that their welfare is protected, 
                                  that their lives are free from fear and want 
                                  and that they can grow up in peace."

"The ultimate test of a moral society 
                                
is the kind of world that it leaves to its children.”Dietrich Bonhoeffer
 
"                                If we are ever to have real peace in this world 
                                we shall have to begin with the children."

                                "Safety 
                                and security don't just happen, they are the result 
                                of collective consensus and public investment. 
                                We owe our children, the most vulnerable citizens 
                                in our society, a life free of violence and fear."

What do you think about children's (or teens') rights? Are they respected? What about your family, your teachers, your friends? Do you feel safe, respected and loved?
