Children's Day, My day, My right (November 20, 2025)
World Children’s Day, observed annually on November 20, marks two significant milestones in the advancement of children’s rights: the adoption of the Declaration of the Rights of the Child in 1959 and the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989 by the United Nations General Assembly.
This global day of action amplifies children’s voices and raises awareness about their rights, including protection, education, health, and the right to be heard.
Children wake each day with inherent rights that must be respected and protected, regardless of the life circumstances shaped by others. The day focuses on listening to children’s experiences, understanding the gaps in the realization of their rights, and mobilizing governments, organizations, and communities to prioritize their well-being and development.
Children and youth are powerful agents of change, offering fresh perspectives essential for shaping inclusive policies and sustainable futures. The policy framework inspired by World Children’s Day emphasizes the following critical points: uphold every child’s right to a safe home, healthy future, and joyful childhood; prioritize child protection and education as fundamental pillars; integrate children’s voices into decision-making; and foster environments that enable their full potential.
Purpose-driven action today ensures that every child’s rights are not only recognized but effectively fulfilled, advancing equity, dignity, and opportunity for all children worldwide.
