“In our society, in our community there is many children without rights because of the crisis. Refugees, internally displaced people, their rights are not respected, sometimes they don’t have an identity, no birth certificates also because the parents are unaware. That’s why we started to advocate for those rights in our community.”

Marc, 11 ans

Thursday morning, The École had the chance to receive two young students from Cameroon. Amira is a 13 year old girl who is advocating for birth registration in her country.  She gave a speech at the UN on Wednesday. Marc is an 11 year old boy, internally displaced from a war zone. Both are UNICEF Youth Ambassadors and advocates.
