Every child has the right to speak and be heard. Thats why we dedicate this special page to them and the amazing things they had to say at the Childrens Future Festival!

I am painting a flower and a girl. I am only 6 years old but the girl Im painting is 12, 5. Shes healthy and likes going to school. Her name is Sheila. Stunna Mkanda (6) shows how painting allows children to develop their creativity.

We all know girls who have been beaten, in school or at home. Children should be able to use the rights they have. We think the best way to do that is to tell a big person and report violence somewhere. Queen Chida (11), Judith Chipofia (10) and Rachel Nilenda (9) shared their thoughts on violence at the stand of UN Women, who are using a big NO within the UNITE campaign to end violence against women and girls.
