Family + Identity

The child has the right to know and live with their family, to have a name and to be granted a nationality. The child has the right to evolve their identity in their own culture, to practice their own religion and to use their own language. ‘Family’ is not defined in the Convention, although the Convention recognises it can encompass extended family and others. This image depicts a group of young bears of different colours learning to make their mark in the world by emulating their family elders and then imprinting their identity in their own unique way.
