Every child has a
right to a name; not a label...
My name is…
My name is not
Refugee.
My neighbourhood was
bombed and was no longer safe - so we had to leave.
I am a refugee, but
that is not my name.
My name is not Child.
I am ten years old; I
am a child, but that is not my name.
My name is not Orphan.
One day, men carrying
guns took my father. My uncle took
me in.
I am an orphan, but
that is not my name.
My name is not Muslim.
My father taught me to
pray every day; my uncle teaches me the same.
I am Muslim, but that
is not my name.
My father used to tell me it
took a long time to choose a name for me.
I want to keep it. I want you to use it.
My name is not a label
- it is my right.
My name is…
