World Children's Day celebrated today

20 ноября 2014

This holiday was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1954. It aims to promote the well-being of young people on the planet. On this day 25 years ago the Convention on the Rights of the Child was adopted in New York. Its main objective is to provide children around the world with happy childhood and protect their rights. Now children make up more than a third of the world population. In our country, the share of young population is nearly 20 percent.
