It’s time to listen to children. To understand what their lives are like and how their rights are present, missing, or pursued every day. Happy Children's Day!
Every child has hopes and dreams for the future.
This #ChildrenDay, let’s make space for what children want for their lives and the world around them: the chance to grow up healthy and safe, learn, explore their potential, and have their voices heard.
