‘Children everywhere, from the moment you are born, you have the same rights as every other child,’ wrote the Oscar-winning actress. ‘Laws get broken all the time, but it is harder for this to happen if we know what they are and what can be done to stop it.

‘That is what this book is about… This book tells you what your rights are, where they come from and why they matter… When young people join together, you are an unstoppable force.’ These Rights Are Your Rights is written for children and is informed by children.

‘In light-touch words and pictures, with fun facts and jokes, it explains what child rights are, how they came into being, how governments are failing to uphold them and equips young people with the knowledge they need to protect themselves and others,’ the press release reads.

‘It shows how child rights apply online too, with advice on how to stay safe from cyberbullying, grooming and dark algorithm.’ It is illustrated by inspiring stories of children who took action when their rights were being denied. One story is from Sweden’s Greta Thunberg, who mobilized school children around the world to demand politicians take meaningful action on climate change.

The book has guidance on how to recognize fake news, build skills in how to raise awareness and ‘strengthen their confidence.’

Alice Sims, Amnesty International UK’s Human Rights Education Manager, said: ‘This book is ideal for Key Stage 2 – its child-friendly style speaks to children directly and is also useful for teachers and parents to understand and discuss their rights with them.’

These Rights Are Your Rights written by Nicky Parker at Amnesty International and illustrated by Sue Cheung, is published by Andersen Press and is available September 5.
