International Children’s Rights Day 2024
Millions of children around the world are still deprived of their fundamental rights. Every November 20, the International Day of Children's Rights reminds us of the importance of guaranteeing access to health care for all children. La Chaîne de l'Espoir has been committed to this goal for 30 years.
A engagement for a afuture me better
Every year, November 20 marks International Children’s Rights Day. This date corresponds to the adoption of the International Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) by the United Nations General Assembly. Since 1989, the CRC has aimed to guarantee every child in the world the right to protection, education and health, as well as the right to express his or her views and to be heard. This commitment is more relevant than ever, particularly for the millions of vulnerable children from impoverished regions and conflict zones, as well as for those who are victims of violence, harassment and, more generally, all types of child abuse.
