Today we celebrate the 36th anniversary of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, a global promise that every child has the right to live a safe, healthy and happy life. 🌍

This year, we’re celebrating every child’s right to play.

Play helps children learn, grow, connect and heal, it’s essential for a full and happy childhood.

But too many children around the world still miss out because of conflict, inequality or lack of safe spaces.

When we protect a child’s right to play, we protect their right to thrive. 💫

Today we celebrate the positive contributions men and boys bring to our families, workplaces, and communities around the world.

This year’s theme, “Celebrating Men and Boys,” reminds us of the importance of connection, role models, and leading by example.


It’s a day to:
🌟 Recognise the positive value men bring to the world.
💬 Encourage open conversations about men’s health and well-being.
👨‍👦 Inspire men to teach and model kindness, integrity, and responsibility for the next generation.


As Mahatma Gandhi said, “We must become the change we seek.”


When we all — men and women alike — lead with empathy and example, we help build a safer, fairer society for everyone to thrive.

🏳️‍⚧️ Understanding Gender Diversity & Being an Ally

Transgender describes people whose gender identity is different from the one assigned to them at birth.

Non-binary describes people who don’t identify as strictly male or female.
Gender diverse is an umbrella term that includes a wide range of gender identities.

So what does it mean to be an ally?

An ally is someone who actively supports and advocates for the equal treatment of others — especially communities they’re not part of themselves.
Being an ally isn’t a label; it’s an ongoing action.

It means:
✨ Calling out disrespect and hurtful language.
✨ Respecting names and pronouns — and correcting mistakes with kindness.
✨ Listening to and learning from trans and gender diverse voices.
✨ Using inclusive language and avoiding assumptions.
✨ Protecting privacy and respecting boundaries.

Every step we take towards understanding and inclusion helps build a safer, more affirming community for everyone.
