UNICEF: Convention on the Rights of the Child Video Contest

DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS?

NEW YORK, USA, 30 June 2009 People all over the world can talk about childrens rights, but it is children themselves who have firsthand experience on the subject. In honour of the 20th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) which will be observed later this year UNICEF is inviting young people around the world to share their thoughts on the issue in video form.

UNICEF has launched the CRC Video Contest as a platform for airing those opinions. Young people under the age of 25 are invited to create and submit one-minute films exploring the state of child rights in general or focusing on a specific right and telling a story.

Ten finalists will be featured on the UNICEF Voices of Youth website and on UNICEFs social networking webpages, including Facebook, MySpace and YouTube. Then the winning film will have its world premiere at the CRC 20th anniversary celebration on 20 November; it will also be distributed to broadcasters worldwide.

To get full details on the contest, visit http://www.unicef.org/voy/takeaction/takeaction_4439.html

When governments get involved children lose! Remember Blacks as slaves, American Indian's as English speaking ONLY, Christians, or what about the gross neglect/abuse/forced adoptions by US CPS/DCFS? Nothing buy ethnic cleansing in most every case. This is just another Children for Profit scheme. Money to take children from their homes rather than money to improve their nations living standards. Children have no money nor political agenda and therefore are NOTHING MORE THAN A CIVIL MATTER!

Basta con i bambini alienati e strumentalizzati anche dallo Stato.

I bambini sono di papà e mamma.
