Little Amal Visits UN Headquarters

A view of Little Amal next to the "Non-Violence" or "Knotted Gun" sculpture by artist Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd on the UN Visitors Plaza.

Little Amal is the giant puppet of a 10 year old Syrian refugee girl. Since July 2021 she has travelled over 9,000 km across 12 countries representing all children fleeing war, violence and persecution and each with their own story, Little Amal's urgent message to the world is "Don't forget about us". She is an international symbol of compassion and of human rights and carries a message of hope for displaced people everywhere, especially children who have been separated from their families.
