This tall to fight
Posted by Jeroen | 24-04-2008 23:55 | Category: Human rights, War & conflictsUNICEF reports that there are well over 250 000 children in armed forces around the world. About 2 million have been killed in the past decade alone.
”Children only have to be this tall to fight
Stop the use of child soldiers. Visit unicef.org”
These Life-size “standees” in the typical style of amusement park height restrictions were placed at the entrances to fun rides in theme parks across South Afrika. Painstakingly pointing the parents to the issue at hand.
I imagine it must hit you hard as a parent when you see your kid trying her best to be tall enough to take that ride.
When going to unicef.org I did have to search for the info on child soldiers. Maybe a campaign website or a more specific url would have been a good idea.
