CRY's picto-demand.

CHENNAI: If all the demands ever made by children were crystallised into a picture, the image would probably look just like the picto-demand Child Rights and You has come up with.

The picto-demand is a compilation of demands articulated by children over the years, and is a good way of communicating with politicians.

Listed by non-governmental agencies that have been working with children over the years, the pictorial representation demands basic rights: survival, development, education, health and protection.

CRY's artist team has come up with the depiction, which they hope will influence politicians to look at the issues discussed with concern.
