November 20^th is the world children’s day. It is an important date for the history of safeguarding children’s rights.

 

On November 20^th, 1959, the UN General Assembly adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child.

On November 20^th, 1989, the UN General Assembly adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

 

On November 20^th, 2020, TFCF International started a challenge (#CallForChildrenRightsChallenge) calling for children's rights.

Start from November 13th, the seven Facebook pages of TFCF overseas branches share stories and photos about the realities of needy children they have met during their services, in order to raise public attention to children’s rights. The #CallForChildrenRightsChallenge proposed by TFCF International on Facebook has reached the public and we will continue our work on Children's rights.
