UNICEF Iran Launches First Farsi Audiocast on the Convention on the Rights of the Child

As part of its ongoing efforts to raise awareness and promote public understanding of children’s rights, UNICEF Iran has launched its first Farsi-language audiocast dedicated to the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). The aim of this short audiocast, produced with the close collaboration of Communication & Advocacy and Child Protection units, is to make the core principles and articles of the CRC accessible and relatable to a wider audience, including parents, educators, young people, and the public. 

The CRC, which serves as the foundation for all of UNICEF’s work globally and in Iran, outlines the civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights of children. By translating legal language into clear, everyday terms, the audiocast supports broader understanding of children’s rights and encourages greater public engagement with the values enshrined in the Convention. 

The audiocast, narrated by prominent Iranian media figures Mansour Zabetian and Gelareh Abbasi, goes through the key articles of the CRC in under 30 minutes using simple, engaging, and accessible language. This initiative reflects UNICEF Iran’s commitment to inclusive communication and public outreach, ensuring that children’s rights are widely understood and embraced.  

Now available on platforms such as Spotify, Castbox, and Apple Podcasts, the audiocast serves as a valuable resource for the Farsi-speaking community interested in child rights in Iran and other parts of the world.
