World Children’s Day is observed on November 20 every year and is dedicated to the little ones who make our life beautiful.

| World Children’s Day is UNICEF’s yearly call to action for children, by children, commemorating the ratification of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Children’s rights are fundamental human rights, yet in many areas today, they face significant challenges. |
The 2023 theme for World Children’s Day is “For every child, every right”.
Originally established in 1954 as Universal Children’s Day, it’s
observed on November 20 each year to foster global unity, raise
awareness about children’s issues, and enhance their well-being. https://www.oliveboard.in/blog/world-childrens-day-2023/

proclaimed in the Charter of the United Nations, and in particular in
the spirit of peace, dignity, tolerance, freedom, equality and
solidarity..." READ MORE of the
