    Leave no child out

    ŠPlan/Victor Brott/Fotojournalisten

    There is never a good reason for denying a child freedom and opportunity.

    There is never a good reason for denying a child freedom and opportunity. Yet throughout the world, children face discrimination because of the colour of their skin, their gender, a disability or because of the traditions their parents passed onto them.

    Discrimination is a denial of that which we believe to be self-evident: that all children are born free and equal in dignity and rights. And how can we talk of human rights without starting with the rights of those who hold the greatest potential? We can teach our children to be tolerant and live without fear or hate or prejudice. And words alone will not be enough. We must also act, by ensuring every child the freedom and dignity he or she deserves.
