In a pursuit to empowering and advocating for children’s rights, 𝘕𝘥𝘢𝘺𝘰 𝘵𝘢 𝘬𝘰 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘸 - 𝘗𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘈𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘕𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬, in collaboration with the 𝘙𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘸 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘩 𝘋𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘱𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘭 and 𝘚𝘒 𝘍𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘗𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘴 through the 𝑅𝑎𝑛𝑎𝑤 𝑌𝑜𝑢𝑡ℎ 𝐷𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑙𝑜𝑝𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑂𝑓𝑓𝑖𝑐𝑒, sparked a new vision for the children from 𝘗𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘴 𝘊𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘌𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘚𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘭 as their passion for their fundamental rights were fueled through 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙟𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙆𝙖𝙗𝙚𝙣𝙖𝙧 𝘼𝙠𝙚𝙣, 𝙆𝙖𝙩𝙤𝙠𝙖𝙬𝙖𝙣 𝘼𝙠𝙚𝙣 (𝙆.𝘼.𝙆.𝘼).

The project, through its generous sponsors, crafted a captivating storybook that brought the four fundamental rights from the United Convention on the Rights of the Child to life as the story entitled “𝘼𝙣𝙜 𝙋𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙣 𝙠𝙤 𝙖𝙮 𝙃𝙖𝙛𝙨𝙖𝙝” (My name is Hafsah) transported the children and readers to a world where the rights of a child were valued with a special focus on the significance of birth registration.

Through engaging narratives and fun activities, the project fostered a deeper understanding of the importance of birth registration as a critical step towards ensuring that every child’s rights are protected and respected.

Kids without birth registration miss out on school, free healthcare, protection during disasters, and even simple joys like joining programs with friends. It’s not just a piece of paper. It's the key to being counted, seen, and protected. 📙

🟠 Every child deserves a story that begins right: with a name, a place, and the power to say, ‘I belong.’

Let’s make sure no child lives in the background. Because when your name is on the record, the world starts to open its doors. 📙

No birth certificate? No school, no ID, no proof you exist. 📃

That’s not just unfair — it’s heartbreaking. 💔

𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗞.𝗔.𝗞.𝗔 isn’t letting that slide. With a short but powerful storybook, we’re making children’s rights easy to understand (and even fun to talk about!). ✨

Because when kids know their rights, they grow up knowing they deserve more. 💪

𝗛𝗮𝗳𝘀𝗮𝗵: Hey Tariq, do you know why my grandmother says my name is so important?

𝗧𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗾: Why? Isn’t it just what people call you?

𝗛𝗮𝗳𝘀𝗮𝗵: It’s more than that. She says a name is like the first page of our story. Without it, people might forget who we are.

𝗧𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗾: Hm, I never thought about it that way. So, our names are like the start of our journey?

𝗛𝗮𝗳𝘀𝗮𝗵: Exactly! When someone knows your name, they know you exist. It means you belong somewhere—like in a family, a village, even the world. But sometimes, when children don’t have their names or papers, it’s like they’re invisible.

𝗧𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗾: Invisible? That sounds scary.

𝗛𝗮𝗳𝘀𝗮𝗵: It is. Without a name or proof, it’s harder to go to school, get help, or even feel safe. That’s why knowing our story and rights matters so much.

𝗧𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗾: Wow, so every child’s story really does begin with a name. That makes me feel like my story—and every child’s story—truly matters.

𝗛𝗮𝗳𝘀𝗮𝗵: It does. And when we all know our stories, we can stand tall and say, “This is who I am, and these are my rights.”

𝗧𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗾: I want that—for me, for you, for every child.

In celebration of the International Day of Living Together in Peace, we honor the power of unity, empathy, and youth-led action in building a more inclusive and compassionate world. This day calls us to reflect on how we, as individuals and communities, can promote peaceful coexistence—not just in principle, but in action.

Recently, Amerah Palawan from the Ndayo ta ko Marinaw Peace Action Network (PAN) participated in the SENANG Peace-tival held in Yala, Thailand—a gathering that brought together young peacebuilders from the BARMM region in the Philippines and the Deep South of Thailand. Through music, art, and open dialogue, participants bridged differences and found strength in shared experiences of conflict, resilience, and hope. The Peace-tival served as a powerful reminder that peace is not just the absence of war, but the presence of understanding, respect, and collaboration across communities.

As we mark this global day of reflection, the Ndayo Ta Ko Marinaw Peace Action Network reaffirm its commitment in its continued pursuit for peace. May we be inspired by the voices of young people who continue to lead peace efforts on the ground. From BARMM to Thailand, youth are not waiting for change—they are creating it.

Living together in peace is not merely a vision for the future, it is a responsibility for today.
