HRC 58th Session։ Annual discussion on the Rights of the Children

13 March, 2025

Thank you Mr. President,

My name is Hrachya, and I am 8 years old. Thank you for giving us children the opportunity to talk to adults.

I am very happy to be here today to talk about what is important to us children.

Childhood is a time when we learn to walk, talk, and understand the world around us. It is when we make our first friends, play, and dream about the future. But not all children experience the same childhood.

Some don't have enough to eat or good doctors to treat them. Others can't go to school or don't have safe places to play. There are also children with disabilities or who live in places where there is war, disaster, or climate-related problems. For them, life is yet harder.

Adults who make decisions should listen to children because we know what we need. We may be small, but our voices must count!

We hope that you, the adults, will help us turn our dreams into decisions, and those decisions into reality.

Mr. President,

I would like to ask the panelists a question:

What can you do to ensure that all children can go to school?

Thank you.
