Listen to the future. Stand up for children’s rights.
World Children’s Day is UNICEF’s global day of action for children , by children, marking the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child . Child rights are human rights . They are non-negotiable and universal. But in too many places today children’s rights are being misunderstood, disregarded or even denied and attacked. Upholding children’s rights is the compass to a better world – today, tomorrow and into the future. This November 20th , World Children’s Day, join us and listen to the future. By listening to children we can fulfil their right to self-expression , understand their ideas for a better world and include their priorities in our actions today. Discover what’s happening and take part . Looking for inspiration? See the highlights from World Children’s Day last year.
