Every November 20, the whole world remembers that all children have rights. Discover why this day is important and what rights we have.
On November 20, it’s World Children’s Day. This day reminds everyone that every child has the right to go to school, be protected, have a home, and play! It was created so adults all over the world remember that children need care, love, and safety.
All countries that signed the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child promise to protect these rights. This means children can learn, speak, play, and be heard. Some children in the world still don’t have all these rights, and this day also helps raise awareness so everyone can grow up happy and safe.
Celebrating this day is saying, “Our rights matter!” and learning to respect the rights of other children.
