World Children's Day 2023 Celebrates on 21st November
World Children’s Day is a yearly celebration held on November 20, commemorating the UN General Assembly’s adoption of the Declaration of the Rights of the Child in 1959. Initially known as Universal Children’s Day since 1954, it emphasizes global unity, children’s awareness, and the enhancement of their well-being. The day is particularly significant as it also marks the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989.
Children’s Day in India is a special occasion celebrated every year on November 14th. This date was chosen to honor the birthday of India’s first prime minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, a leader who deeply cherished children and believed in their potential to shape the nation’s future.
The theme for World Children’s Day 2023 is “For every child, every right,” reinforcing the commitment to uphold the rights outlined in the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
World Children’s Day has a rich history, originating as Universal Children’s Day in 1954. The UN General Assembly adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child on November 20, 1959, and later, on the same day in 1989, the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Since 1990, the day also signifies the anniversary of the adoption of both crucial documents.
World Children’s Day serves as a platform for people across various professions to raise awareness about child rights and welfare. It encourages reflection on the small choices individuals can make to contribute positively to the younger generation.
Parents, teachers, healthcare professionals, government leaders, community figures, corporate leaders, and media professionals, along with children themselves, can actively contribute to making World Children’s Day meaningful in their societies.
