Universal Children's Day is celebrated on November 20 each year. It was established by the United Nations in 1954 to promote the welfare and rights of children around the world. The day aims to raise awareness about issues affecting children, such as poverty, education, and health, and encourages governments and communities to take action to protect children's rights. The date also marks the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989, which outlines the fundamental rights of children. Universal Children's Day serves as a reminder of the importance of ensuring that every child has the opportunity to grow, learn, and thrive in a safe environment.
