MustLivetoTell, a campaign aimed at educating children over 7 years old about the ongoing situation in Palestine and the principles of human rights.
We’ve created a children’s book titled A Tale of the Stolen Toys, designed to introduce young readers to concepts of equality, freedom, and justice in a relatable and engaging way. Accompanying this book is an adult manual to help parents guide discussions on these critical issues with their children.
It helps adults have the necessary information in accordance with the learning outcomes.
It accompanies the child before, during and after as they read the Tale of Stolen Toys about what happened to Palestine and other colonized communities. It suggests activities for liberation and establishing children agency in their society.

Guided discussions about rights empower children to express their thoughts and advocate for themselves, fostering their agency in society.
“We know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians.”
