Every human being born free and equal, to live certain times of life on the earth. When we are born, then we come through one identity that is the human child.
However, in which color or race we belong to, as a human child, we deserve equal fundamental rights.
In some welfare countries, may equal rights are established, but in another part of the world, minority people are fighting for their rights every day. As a part of the fundamental rights, every human child should deserve equal rights to food, clothing, housing, education, and treatment.
The Equal Rights and Gender Equality International cartoon contest and exhibition is an initiative to raise a voice, promote and support gender equality and equal rights. We received over 2000 cartoons, 474 cartoonists from 71 countries. I thank everyone for contributing to the project.
