International Child Rights Day, also known as Universal Children's Day, is observed on November 20th each year. This day marks the anniversary of the adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) on November 20, 1989. The CRC is a human rights treaty that sets out the civil, political, economic, social, health, and cultural rights of children.
International Child Rights Day aims to promote international togetherness, awareness among children worldwide, and improving children's welfare. It serves as a reminder that children, as human beings, have the right to be treated with dignity and respect and to be protected from discrimination, violence, and exploitation.
On this day, various events and activities are organized globally to raise awareness about children's rights and the challenges they face. Governments, non-governmental organizations, schools, and communities may participate in campaigns, educational programs, and advocacy efforts to emphasize the importance of safeguarding and promoting the rights of children.
The day is an opportunity to reflect on the progress made in ensuring children's rights and to address ongoing issues that affect children globally. It also encourages individuals and organizations to work towards creating a world where every child can grow up in a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment.
