🌎 Today is World Children's Day! This year is the 36th anniversary of the adoption of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), a special moment where governments around the world (including Australia) agreed on 54 different rights that every child under 18 years old should have to live a safe, healthy and happy life.
🏀 This year UNICEF has chosen to celebrate “every child’s right to play.” Play is how children learn, grow, connect and heal. Every child has the right to play, no matter who they are or where they live. Yet, millions of children around the world are missing out on this basic right, because of conflict, displacement, inequality or lack of safe spaces. When we protect a child’s right to play, we’re protecting their right to a full, healthy and happy childhood.
