Community Recognition Notice - World Children's Day

23 November 2021

Ms JENNY AITCHISON (Maitland)—World Children's Day and is celebrated on 20th November each year to promote international togetherness, awareness among children worldwide, and improving children's welfare. November 20th is the date in 1959 when the UN General Assembly adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child. It is also the date in 1989 when the UN General Assembly adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Today I acknowledge and celebrate the commitment of Maitland community members as they foster and enhance safe and encouraging spaces for our children. I celebrate the parents and carers, educators, health professionals, religious and community leaders who work each day to improve the lives of our children, particularly as we build new connections and ways of being in light of the many challenges brought by the pandemic. I celebrate our children who are growing up in an age unlike anything previously experienced as they face the challenges of building positive connections with others across an ever increasing number of platforms. World Children's Day provides an opportunity for a deliberate moment of thought about how we can advocate, promote and celebrate children's rights, and choose to build a better world for our children.
