Universal Children's Day

Universal Children's Day, celebrated on November 20th, is a vital global observance focusing on the rights and welfare of children around the world. This day commemorates two significant milestones in the history of children's rights. On November 20, 1959, the General Assembly approved the Declaration of the Rights of the Child, marking a pivotal moment in the global recognition and protection of children's rights. Then, on the same day in 1989, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), further solidifying the commitment to children's rights. This day serves as a powerful reminder of our collective responsibility to safeguard and enhance the well-being of children everywhere, urging governments, organisations, communities, and individuals to work in unison for a brighter future for all children. #UNCRC #childrensday.
