UNICEF video exposes how rich, poor children are treated differently

UNICEF released a video last week which shines a spotlight on the animosity street children face in their day-to-day lives.

During the video, a six-year-old actress called Anano stands on a street and then enters a cafe in Tbilisi, Georgia.

Firstly she is dressed in smart clothing and is approached by concerned adults. But then she carries out the same actions with a very scruffy appearance, which leads to her being ignored and dismissed.

UNICEF told Reuters the objective of the video was to make viewers “pause, think and reflect” on their attitudes towards street children and push people with influence to effect change regarding this issue.
