A film about children’s rights made by young people in Leicester is reaching a global audience after being picked up by Unicef.
The film – Was Not Heard – was made in Leicester with the support of youth workers at Leicester City Council, in association with local filmmakers Badshoes Film. It highlights the rights of children to have their voices heard, be listened to by adults and to have their views considered and respected by decision makers.
In doing so, the film is highlighting Article 12 of the UN’s Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), which sets out children’s “right to be listened to, and taken seriously”.
