"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."
Kofi Annan

"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?
