DESCRIPTION
No one talks about the human rights of children because generally children don't complain. In fact even if the rights of a parent is taken away the worst sufferer is the children. An orphan is the most distressed child who is being denied the pleasures of his childhood and opportunities to grow. Though there are various organs of United Nations looking into this aspect but much is desired. This book is a stark reminder to the grim reality.
