Level 3: Voice and fairness

ICCPR Articles 2 and 3 · CEDAW Article 2

You can ask for an effective remedy

If a right is broken, you can ask for a real fix — not a shrug. Girls, mothers and boys should get equal services.

How you can use it

  1. 1Write what happened and which service failed.
  2. 2Say: “I want an effective remedy without discrimination.”
  3. 3Ask for a complaint number and an independent review if needed.

What a violation looks like

A mother or child is denied a remedy because of sex, race, disability or another status.

Words you can use

“I want an effective remedy and equal service.”

If speaking is hard, write it, draw it, send a message, or ask a trusted adult to say it with you.
