Join the Youth Advocating for Child Rights

Promoting child rights is key for everyone. If we are to change the world, when children grow up under loving communities they will intern to become loving as adults and do the same to their children.

World Children's Day offers each of us an inspirational entry-point to advocate, promote and celebrate children's rights, translating into dialogues and actions that will build a better world for children.

“Working together as a team will make each task easy, putting our minds together will bring a lasting change”

The World Conference for the Well-being of Children in Geneva, Switzerland, proclaimed June 1 to be International Children’s Day in 1925. It is usually marked with speeches on children’s rights and wellbeing, and other events involving or dedicated to children.

A similar event, Universal Children’s Day, falls on 20 November. It was established by the United Nations in 1954 and aims to promote the welfare of children around the world.
