In its centre is red, cursive text saying “Menstrual health is a human rights issue. Not just a health one” There is a white UNFPA logo in the bottom right corner of the card.

Education is a fundamental human right!
On #InternationalDayofEducation, we want to remind governments that all children should have access to education.
"Every child has the right to form connections with friends and gather with others as allowed by the law." (Art. 8)
"Children have the right to talk to, play with, and be friends with whomever they want, [...] as long as it is not harmful to them or others."
(ACRWC)
"Every child has the right to express their views."
"Adults must listen to every child’s views and take them seriously." (Art. 7)
The African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACRWC)
"Every child has the right to a name and identity" (Art. 6)
"Children have the right to be named and to have a birth certificate. They have the right to a nationality (to belong to a country) in which they are born or from countries where they live."
(ACRWC)
Without legal proof of identity, children are left uncounted and invisible.
"Without a birth certificate, children are unable to prove their age, which puts them at a much higher risk of being forced into early marriage or the labour market, or recruited into armed forces."
"Every child has the right to live, and the government is responsible for protecting and promoting every child’s rights." (Art. 5)

All people should do what is best for every Child
When adults make decisions, they should think about how their decisions will affect children. If children can say their opinions, then it should be heard and taken into consideration by relevant groups or the government. (Art. 4)
"All children have these rights - no matter who they are, where they live, what their parents do, what language they speak, what their religion is, whether they are a boy or girl, what their culture is, whether they have a disability or whether they are rich or poor." (Art.3)
"A Child is a person below the age of 18 years" (art. 2)
