Children welcomed ‘Little Amal’ – a 12-foot puppet that has become a global symbol of human rights – to Dublin today.
Amal was created in the image of a ten-year-old Syrian refugee to draw attention to the huge number of children fleeing war, violence and persecution.
She travels the world as part of ‘The Walk’, a creative project with the message: “Don’t forget about us.”
The exhibition is in Dublin as part of the International Literary Festival Dublin.
Since Amal started walking in 2021, she has visited 16 countries, met two million people, and raised €900,000 for the Amal Fund with Choose Love, providing support for refugee and displaced children all over the world.
Watch our video to see more from when Amal met some children in Dublin.
