From a fun point of view, the authors set out situations around new rights focused on gender issues, enabling readers to discuss and reflect about female and male stereotypes. The original publication in French (2014) was supported by Amnesty International. The book was translated into Spanish by Emma Barroche for Conaculta Alas y Raíces (Wings and Roots) joint publication and Tecolote Publishing House.
This publication consists of 64 pages, has two covers: one in pink announces the rights of boys; the other in blue, invites the reader to know the rights of girls.
