In a new digital campaign from children’s rights organization UNICEF, more than 200 well-known international writers have penned stories that riff off the statement, ‘What I want for every child.’ The week-long campaign, called Tiny Stories, brings together a range of prominent novelists, playwrights and poets, including Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Brazilian novelist Paulo Coelho.

‘As writers, we are able to advocate through the simplicity of storytelling,’ Adichie said in a release. ‘With this worthy and necessary campaign, we advocate for the protection of the rights of precious children all over the world.’

UNICEF calls them ‘tiny but powerful stories of courage, anger, love—and, most of all, for every child, hope.’ The organization is encouraging social media users to not only read the stories, but also share their favourites—or create their own ‘tiny story’ to contribute—using the hashtag #foreverychild. The Tiny Stories campaign comes at a time when threats to children’s rights are only intensifying. According to UNICEF statistics, more than 50 million children worldwide have been displaced due to conflict, poverty and climate change. A staggering 263 million children are out of school around the globe. Last year alone, nearly 6 million children under the age of 5 died from mostly preventable diseases.

‘It is shocking to see that the lives of many children are still so heavily impacted by the horror of conflict, inequality, poverty and discrimination,’ said Paloma Escudero, global director of communications for UNICEF. ‘I hope these Tiny Stories can remind the world that we must sustain our commitment to all of these children whose lives and futures are at stake.’
