Immediately after the attacks in Brussels our society went into a cramp around our children. Schools and nurseries were the first to be secured. The fact that children are by far our greatest wealth was once again brought into focus on 22 March.
Frans Swartelé zooms in on fifteen great stories of irrepressible youth. The power of the vulnerable life of children emerges in Anne Frank, Malala Yousafzai, Sabine Dardenne, Basje Vanstraelen and many others.
There is also bewilderment. So many children's lives destroyed by war, poverty, violence... When will the day come when every child is protected by the International Convention on the Rights of the Child?
