CyberDodo: Empowering Children to Exercise Their Human Rights

MONACO, November 17 - On the 20th Anniversary of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child,
November 20, 2009, one organization is prepared to support children by
helping them to easily understand and access their natural privileges.
CyberDodo.org (or .com), a multi-platform, interactive, digital space for
children, championed by an animated Dodo (CyberDodo (R)), inspires, daily,
young people and their adult guardians to protect the rights of children.
CyberDodo is leading the charge to inform and empower youth on the issues
that matter most to them by providing free access to smart and engaging
audio-visual and print material.

The multilingual, "edutainment" website, currently available in English,
Arabic, French and Spanish, offers multimedia content, including 10 hours of
cartoons, games and files, and is complemented by a 7-book series, or
"Edupack," available to schools and those without Internet access.

CyberDodo, the animated character and universal ambassador promoting the
message of the "Defense of Life", is free of any affiliation related to race,
gender, religion, politics or social level. It is this unbiased approach to
the mission of human rights that allows children of all nationalities and
identities to access the information needed to achieve their unalienable
rights. The social networking website, connected to 2 billion people,
provides an easy and fun way to introduce children to their basic rights and
get them involved in promoting the issues.

CyberDodo has a long standing partnership with the UN High Commissioner
for Human Rights, "I am pleased to say that my Office has supported the
development of the project since its creation," says Mrs Navanethem Pillay.
This alliance has allowed CyberDodo to become a major non-commercial source
of information for children, parents, educators and all other entities
involved in encouraging the rights of children.

CyberDodo is also supported by HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco who says:
"I hope that this action will effectively contribute to promote these rights
so that the children become themselves the eager defenders of this cause."

Promoting child-specific needs and rights in a way that children can
easily understand by using the latest in new media technology and traditional
print publications, CyberDodo is a global education tool helping to connect
and inform all communities about the pressing situation endangering the
world's children and the environmental state of our planet.
