The Visible Girls

This book is a wonderful example of a child's brilliantly insightful and creative comment on gender equality issues in her home region.Tyronah's story of Sine and the work she does to create and mobilise support for a gender equality programme is an important comment about the pledge in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child to eliminate violence and discrimination against women and girls.These upcoming years are crucial as world leaders will agree on a new sustainable development framework for the next 15 years.The proposed 17 Sustainable Development Goals include targets to end poverty, to ensure healthy lives and quality education and to combat climate change, among others.The decisions taken will undoubtedly have a huge impact on children's lives and rights today as well as the lives and rights of future generations.
