ICDB 2009Sunday, 1 March 2009
On 20 November 2009, the world over will celebrate 20 years of the adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). While the Convention has realised remarkable achievements for children across several continents, millions still do not fully enjoy their rights, including their right to self-expression and participation. This year’s International Children's Day of Broadcasting, which falls on Sunday, 1 March, is more meaningful than ever as it can set the tone and inspire governments and civil society, child rights activists, youth and children, parents and teachers to honour 20 years of children’s rights, including a child's right to be heard. UNICEF is working with television and radio broadcasters around the world to "Unite for Children: Tune in to Kids!" What do children and young people care about most? What are their values, fears and dreams? Many children around the world share the same ideals, even if their lives are vastly different. 'Tune in to Kids!’ will give us a platform to hear their opinions, see their perspectives and listen to their stories. It’s a wonderful start to engaging with children, and giving them the space they so rightly deserve to participate in society. ..............................................................................................
