The day November 20 It is the date on which the UN General Assembly approved the Declaration of the Rights of the Child in 1959 and the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989. That is why today we dedicate it very especially to celebrating the Universal Children's Day.
In the blog we have talked several times about the Rights of Children, but it never hurts to remember them. A child has the right, among other things, to be a child, to grow in freedom, to an identity, to health, to special care, to a family, to play, to a good education, to protection and relief, not to being abandoned or abused no longer be discriminated against
It is a good date to reflect on the rights of children who, unfortunately, are violated every day in the world. Child slavery, mistreatment, sexual abuse, not accessing education, decent housing, health, are rights that are still ignored and it is something that we should all be aware of in order to put a brake on it.
Among the eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) developed by the Millennium Summit, six of the eight goals directly concern children and the other two also represent fundamental improvements to the lives of children. Therefore, among all, both organizations and individuals, we must commit, each within their means, to make it possible for these objectives to be met.
As a color note, tell you that Google has also joined today to the celebration of Universal Children's Day with one of its characteristic doodles.
We have all been children once. And we all want the well-being of our children, which has always been and will continue to be the most universal yearning for humanity. "
