Child friendly versions of Official Documents
We
believe that it is vital that documents for the Special Session
are available in a way that children and young people can understand.
Save the Children has produced a child friendly version of the
draft Outcome Document (with a dictionary) and child friendly
summary of 'We the Children'. These documents are only available
in English at this time but will also be posted in French and
Spanish.

action for building a world fit for children.
