Universal Children’s Day: Advocating for Every Child’s Rights

On November 20, we observe Universal Children’s Day, a day dedicated to promoting and celebrating children’s rights worldwide. In the Philippines, this day holds special importance as the government and local organizations focus on safeguarding the welfare, rights, and future of Filipino children.

The Philippines, with its Child Protection Law (RA 7610) and Juvenile Justice Act (RA 9344), upholds international commitments to protect and empower children, ensuring access to education, healthcare, and a safe environment. Initiatives like the National Children’s Month (celebrated every November) and programs led by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) reinforce the rights and dignity of every child across the country.

This Universal Children’s Day, let’s continue to support efforts that protect and nurture every child’s potential. 🌟
