November 20 is Universal Children’s Day!

 

This Universal Children’s day is extra special because it marks the 30th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. This legal framework states that children are not just objects who belong to their parents and for whom decisions are made, or adults in training. Rather, they are human beings and individuals with their own rights. Also children must be allowed to grow, learn, play, develop and flourish with dignity.

 

SEIU-West celebrates all children because we are fighting for their future.

 

As adults who are their mentors and guides, we need to ask ourselves how much have we invested in their future? What are we doing to safeguard a livable planet for them? What are we doing to ensure that when they grow up they would be guaranteed a livable wage and safe working conditions?

 

It’s our job to hold ourselves and the government accountable now to secure our children’s future.

 

Let’s promote international togetherness, awareness among children worldwide, and improving children's welfare.
