Description
A child wearing a red raincoat and a striped sweater stands in a crowd holding a handmade protest sign with the words “Dioxin Kills” written in large blue letters. The child appears to be participating in a demonstration, with other individuals visible in the background, some partially out of frame. The setting is dimly lit, possibly indoors or during evening hours, with a brick-patterned ground surface.
