Educate the adults

“During our Global Vote Day we showed that no child should be forced to do things against their will. In our play, I acted the role of a cruel principal who beats the children, until the children force him to realise that he is wrong. All the adults and teachers who attended our Global Vote Day saw this play. 

Everyone has the right to be respected as a human being. The Globe is about the children’s side of the story. I think adults should respect us the way we respect them. The government should come to villages and teach adults the rights of children. I joined the club because I want to know my rights. I need to know this because if someone violates my rights I can say: This is wrong.”
Godfrey, 16
