 Give us voice: children respond to the CRC

In 2003, for the second review of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), children around Bangladesh sent their poems, essays and drawings to UNICEF to explain what they thought about child rights in Bangladesh. Many of the responses were published in a book called Give us voice. We know what we want.

The signing of the Convention on the Rights of the Child in Bangladesh will mark its 20th anniversary in October 2009. To celebrate this milestone, UNICEF wants to know what you, the children of Bangladesh, think about your life, your health and your happiness.

• What is good about growing up in Bangladesh?
• What are the main problems you face in your daily life?
• What changes would make Bangladesh a better place for you?

Please write your name, age, address and phone number on your submission.
