Nyakundi Report notes that on November 20, 2018, the world marked World Children’s Day as a reminder of the need to protect children and defend their rights.
The observance is meant to draw attention to children who are mistreated or denied basic rights, while also giving them space to speak and be heard. The message behind the day is that children should be treated with respect, regardless of race, colour or tribe.
Although countries celebrate the day on different dates, the purpose stays the same: to promote equality, love and protection for children everywhere. The article frames children as the hope for tomorrow and stresses that their rights should always be defended.
