To commemorate the 20th
anniversary of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), Malaysia’s
postal service, Pos Malaysia, has introduced a new set of stamps that aims to
spread the word about children’s rights.
The Caring Society stamps –
named for Malaysia’s ‘Vision 2020’ plan to establish a ‘fully caring society
and a caring culture’ with the child and the family at its core – come in a set
of four. Each stamp features a different right: to food, to education, to play
and to protection. An additional stamp highlights the CRC itself and is
embossed in Braille to emphasize that human rights belong equally to all
children, including children living with disabilities.
Designed
by the advertising agency TBWA\Tequila Malaysia, the stamps also honour UNICEF
for its role in protecting children and their right to survival, development
and protection.
