Religious Guide to Child's Rights and Weekend Prayer Services for Peace for Children

Sponsor Organization: UNICEF

Religious groups with the support of UNICEF are developing a guide with 26 child rights related topics. The guide contains information and messages from Biblical and Quranic passages and possible actions for religious leaders to address issues such as child marriage, violence against children, trafficking, and early pregnancy, among others.

On the 22-24 of November Muslims, Christians and Catholics will dedicate their ceremonies - Friday prayers for Muslims, Saturday services for Christians, and Sunday masses for Catholics, to pray for peace in the country and for peace for children worldwide.
