In some parts of the world there are children who don’t have access to schools, who don’t have food to eat every day, who cannot go to the doctor if they get sick, or who are marginalized because they are different … Why does this happen? I don’t understand! ALL PEOPLE are different and that is what’s cool about it! To try to fix that, a few people got together and thought about how they could protect children. This is how Children’s Rights came to be. But be aware! For every right, we have at least one responsibility for all of us to be well.
Spanish Description: En algunos lugares del mundo existen niñas y niños que no pueden ir a la escuela, que no pueden comer cada día, que no pueden ir al médico si se ponen enfermos o que no son aceptados por ser diferentes… ¿Por qué pasa esto? ¡No lo entiendo! ¡Si TODAS LAS PERSONAS somos distintas y eso es lo chulo! Para arreglarlo, unas cuantas personas se reunieron y pensaron cómo podían proteger a niños y niñas. Así salieron los Derechos de la Infancia. Pero ¡atención! Por cada derecho, tenemos por lo menos un deber para que todos estemos bien.
