It’s World Children’s Day
A better future for every child.
World Children’s Day is UNICEF’s annual day of action for children, by children.
The COVID-19 pandemic has shown how inequality affects the rights of every child. From climate change, education and mental health, to ending racism and discrimination, children and young people are raising their voices on the issues that matter to their generation and calling for adults to create a better future.
This World Children’s Day, it’s more important than ever that the leaders listen to their ideas and demands.
Kids are reimagining a better world. What will you do?
