What Are My Rights?
Student Participation

The Kidlink Who-Am-I? Program

For many years we have lived in fear. Now we have decided to do something about it. We have send this message to get attention on the "World Wide Web". There are to many problems with war, violence og discrimination. Therefore we will request = the world to make a large demonstration against violence in the world.

No matter what nation you come from, what your religion is and what your race is, no one have the right to suppress you. Even in our country there is suppression. We are a group of young students in Denmark and we won't put op with violence anymore. There is no kind of violence that should be allowed in any part of the world. Therefore we have made some points that you should consider before you might make a protest.

Protest legal.
Say YOUR opinion about the world.
Don't be scared of anyone.
If you live in a country with a military government, remember that you are a whole country, against a little goverment.
Bring peace, NOT war.
Love all the people in the world, unless they are dictators, murderess or other criminals
Don't let the races stand between your friendships.
There is nothing wrong with having a friend from another country.
Do only kill in selfdefend or because of a highly nece- sary reason.

You could give the world a chance, but you will have to do something about it. Do it now before it is too late to turn back. Think about yourself, your friends and the "Mother Earth". No one in this world wants to have war or to harm other people. Nevertheless there is a lot of violence and fear all around the world. The humanrights tell that every one should be able to walk on the streets without any kind of fear of being attacked or exposed of other kinds of violence. Look at Albania and Kosovo, why do people have to leave their homes just because one man have eager to reign and wants to control the whole world. Civilians are going to freeze to death because they have no clothes and no where to stay. And just because of one man who wants to have the power, thousands of innocent people die. How can we accept this?

No matter which race you are, religion you believe in or what nation you come from no one has the right to harm you. I think that every child who wants to live in a save world without fear should give there opinion about have to make a better world to live in without fear and violence. How can we stop the violence and make a save world?
