Alle Mädchen und Jungen haben Rechte

In the organizer's words:

Germany signed the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child back in 1992 - but children's rights are still not enshrined in Germany's Basic Law. Although many children are aware of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, they know little about their personal rights - such as the right to privacy, to complain or to decide for themselves who they like and who they don't like.

The exhibition is aimed at parents, educators and other professionals. It shows how children can know, understand and live their personal rights in everyday life - and how adults can consistently respect and communicate these rights.

The exhibition is part of the new Zartbitter project "All children have personal rights - protecting girls* and boys* from sexualized violence", a cooperation between Zartbitter e.V., the Cologne VHS and the Office for Children, Youth and Families of the City of Cologne.
