It's World Children’s Day and kids are taking over and turning the world blue in support of child rights.
This year is extra special as we celebrate 30 years of the Convention on the Rights of the Child – 30 years of child rights.
A time to celebrate and a time to demand action. It's time for every child, to have every right.
Child rights have no expiration date.
