Quotes Children are first and foremost children. First, you listen. It is not documents, treaties, conventions that are missing. It is on the implementation of all available guidelines that we have to focus now. If a child sings well, we say he or she sings well, but we don’t call them a singer. But if a child steals, we call him or her a thief, instead of saying they have committed theft. The only way one can overcome the system and protect oneself as a woman is to learn, have an education, and have a job.
