20th November
World Children's Day was started by the UN General Assembly in 1954. Then called Universal Children's Day, it is used as a day to promote international togetherness and awareness among children worldwide, and improving children's welfare. The day also marks the signing of two important pieces of children's rights legislation; the Declaration of the Rights of the Child and the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
As a child-focused organisation, World Vision supports this important day for children, and celebrates it with children and young people across the world.
