The Sisters' Mind Connection: 5 (Voices of Future Generations)

Who better to advocate for the rights of children with disabilities than children who share with them the joys and challenges of everyday life? This is the spirit of “The Sisters’ Mind Connection”. Inspired by her experiences with her sister Daniela, who has autism and Down Syndrome, Allison Liévano makes a powerful appeal about the importance of education as a human right to ensure the dignity and inclusion of every child. 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.
