Countdown to World Children's Day
On November 20th, we come together globally to celebrate World Children's Day. This day is a reminder of the importance of promoting and protecting children's rights and creating a brighter future for all. Established by the United Nations, it marks the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, a landmark treaty that highlights the rights every child is entitled to, regardless of background or circumstances.
World Children's Day is both a celebration and a call to action. It serves as a reminder to continue the fight for children's rights—focusing on education, safety, and equality—and to give children a platform to be heard. Communities around the world celebrate through events, campaigns, and activities that aim to improve the lives of children everywhere.
With World Children's Day approaching, now is the time to reflect on how we can all contribute to a future where every child is safe, healthy, and empowered. Get involved by participating in local events or joining the conversation on social media with #WorldChildrensDay!
