An action-research project about children as subjects of rights was carried out, where the centerpiece were the stories written by fourth graders (mostly 8 years old) from a public elementary school in Bogotá. The stories talked around children's violated, defiled, screened, and, in some cases, restored rights. The different sections of the paper refer to aspects concerning the origin, context, basis, and development of this pedagogical-research experience, as well as the main findings, which could not be other than the same literary production of the children who participated in the experience.
