Four girls from Kaufbeuren fight for children's rights worldwide!

Kaufbeuren, Deutschland - In Kaufbeuren, four students from the Schraderschule take the matter into their own hands when it comes to the rights of children. Maria, Lilith, Finja and Lisa, all in fourth grade, have considered how they can give the children a stronger voice worldwide. With your initiative, you would like to draw attention to grievances and actively stand up for changes. "I'm sorry for the children who don't have enough," says Maria and sums up the sympathy.

lilith adds that hunger and thirst in many children are injustice that must not be ignored. Her project idea was created in ethics lessons, where she spoke about the UN- Kinderrechtspurvention . "We want to become active and not just talk about it," emphasizes Finja, while Lisa underlines the concern: "We children can take action ourselves."

a creative approach

To spread their message, the girls designed their own logo and recorded a song. But that's not all! They also start a signature campaign that should encourage people to campaign for children's rights. Already at various events and the school festival you started a collection to support your concerns.

A special highlight is the planned voice collection at the weekly market, in which the girls hope for great resonance. Your goal: to gain the highest possible number of supporters in order to stand up for more justice and the implementation of children's rights. There are support options at planned events, at the corner point Kaufbeuren or directly via contact with the Schraderschule in Kaufbeuren.

right for all children

But what are the children's rights? According to the Unicef ​​ children have rights everywhere in the world, regardless of where they live. These rights are laid down in the UN Convention on the Rights of Children, which came into force on November 20, 1989. An impressive number - almost all countries in the world have committed to ratification!

The convention comprises 54 articles and is based on four basic principles: the right to equal treatment, the well -being of the child, the right to life and development as well as the right to hearing and participation. These principles ensure that no child is disadvantaged due to gender, origin, or other characteristics and the needs of the little ones are always in the foreground.

Awareness of child rights is growing, and Unicef ​​brings through materials and innovative ideas such as the primary school package "You have rights" fresh wind to schools. The selection includes free downloads, design ideas for school lessons and action recommendations for students and is a great basis for the topic to be active and creative in the future.
