For me, peace is a fundamental human right of every child; it is inevitable and divine.

Today it is time for every child to have a right to life, right to freedom, right to health, right to education, safety, the right to dignity, right to equality, and right to peace.

Every single minute matters, every single child matters, every single childhood matters.

If not now, then when? If not you, then who? If we are able to answer these fundamental questions, then perhaps we can wipe away the blot of human slavery.

Every child matters. If we fail our children, we are bound to fail our present, our future, faith, cultures, and civilisations as well.

I dream for a world which is free of child labour, a world in which every child goes to school. A world in which every child gets his rights.
