for students
-
Voices
of Youth—an
online chat room for youth on children’s rights and issues. To participate,
click on UNICEF’s website at www.unicef.org
and then on Voices of Youth, voice your opinions and vote
on a wide range of children’s issues. Results of the voting are
posted online.
- Participate
in your high school’s model United Nations club, or if
one does not exist, start your own.
- Check to see
if your country has ratified the CRC and/or CEDAW and see what
efforts of enforcement are being made. Write letters and send emails
to your elected officials and leaders --local, national or international--who
may have influence to improve the situation of girls.
- Support a
program working directly to help girls and women trapped in situations
of war or poverty. Such help can be channelled through organizations
such as UNICEF.
