Top Left: A diverse group of children, including one in a wheelchair, are using digital devices near a fence with a communication tower and an airplane flying overhead.

Bottom Left: Two children, a boy and a girl, are playing a video game together on a large screen. The text above them states, "You have a right to play and rest." 3. Bottom Right: A close-up of two hands, one larger and one smaller, holding each other. The accompanying text says, "You have the right to be safe." The poster uses bright colours and simple illustrations to convey these rights in an engaging and accessible manner for children.
