Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>NEW YORK, 20 November 2021 \u2013 Children and young people are raising their voices and demanding urgent action on the issues that matter to them in a series of global and local events to mark World Children\u2019s Day, UNICEF\u2019s global day of action for children, by children.<\/p>\n

From headlining at the world expo, to meeting with presidents, leading public debates, and reporting from newsrooms, young people are engaging world leaders, businesses, and high-profile stars on issues including climate, equality and kindness.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmid a global pandemic, rising poverty, and social unrest, World Children\u2019s Day is a time to celebrate young people\u2019s unwavering hope and determination to build back better,\u201d said UNICEF Deputy Executive Director of Partnerships Charlotte Petri Gornitzka. The road to recovery from COVID-19 must put children and young people at the heart of decision-making. As the leaders of tomorrow, they have the right to shape decisions made today.\u201d<\/p>\n

This week, UNICEF and Gallup launched the first-ever intergenerational poll on childhood today, showing that young people are 50 per cent more likely than older generations to believe the world is becoming a better place, but are impatient for action on mounting crises such as COVID-19 and climate change.<\/p>\n

To hear and amplify their calls for a better world, presidents, ministers, and businesses joined children and young people at virtual and in-person events, including:<\/p>\n

In West and Central Africa, UNICEF kicked off its first annual \u2019Youth Voices from the Sahel\u2019 public debate, focusing on climate change, and bringing together experts, political stakeholders, high-profile individuals, and more than 100 young people aged 8-25 to debate and deliver a set of recommendations for leaders.<\/p>\n

Children and young people hosted a meeting with the Presidents of Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe at the Kazungula Bridge where the borders of all four countries meet. The bridge was also lit up blue in symbolic support for children. Heads of states, ministers and members of governments met with children in other countries including Denmark, Guinea Bissau, Guyana, Oman, Turkey, and Switzerland.<\/p>\n

UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors and high-profile supporters used their global platforms to help raise awareness and mobilize support for children\u2019s rights and the issues affecting young people, including:<\/p>\n

UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Millie Bobby Brown called for children not to give up on adults in this year\u2019s World Children\u2019s Day signature video. In a reverse to the norm, Brown points out how children are often given instruction from adults, and now calls for adults to listen to children.<\/p>\n

UNICEF China Ambassador Wang Yuan (Roy Wang) released a new song to inspire children and young people.<\/p>\n

UNICEF Norway Ambassador Penelope Lea chaired a conference with children, young people, and government leaders on climate change and sustainability.<\/p>\n

From promoting child rights to lighting buildings blue, businesses and organizations showed their support to help children reimagine a better future, including FC Barcelona, Johnson & Johnson, the LEGO Group and the LEGO Foundation, Pandora, Z Zurich Foundation, and the UN Foundation.<\/p>\n

Children and young people in Bangladesh, Colombia, Fiji, Gambia, Indonesia, and elsewhere, took over newsrooms, newspapers, and broadcast studios to report on issues that matter to them.<\/p>\n

In the spirit of children and young people\u2019s participation, UNICEF launched its first global TikTok activation designed by young creators with the support from TikTok. Focusing on the positive impact of youth advocacy, the #OlderSelfTalk activation asks young people to have a conversation with their older self on some of the current issues that matter to their generation.<\/p>\n

Iconic landmarks and buildings around the world turned blue as a symbol of unity, including the Tour Eiffel in France, the The Rashtrapati Bhavan in India, the Dharahara Tower in Nepal, Expo 2020 Dubai in the UAE, the Historic Victoria Falls Bridge in Zimbabwe, the Lahore Fort in Pakistan, Petra in Jordan, a section of the Great Wall in China, Chichen Itza in Mexico, the Bran Draculas Castle in Romania, and other buildings and landmarks, including in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Germany and Panama. \u200b<\/p>\n

Expo 2020 Dubai championed child rights with youth-led celebrations and policy-focused events featuring UNICEF Ambassadors and Youth Advocates. Two UNICEF Youth Advocates were appointed during a concert: TIME\u2019s Kid of the Year Gitanjali Rao and member of the Emirati Children’s Parliament Saeed bin Omar Almutaiwei.<\/p>\n

In addition to these appointments, UNICEF Youth Advocates and young National Ambassadors around the world were appointed to help raise children and young people\u2019s voices, including:<\/p>\n

World Children\u2019s Day \u2013 celebrated annually on November 20 and now in its fifth year \u2013 aims to raise awareness for the millions of children that are denied their right to adequate health care, nutrition, education and protection, and to elevate young people\u2019s voices as critical to any discussions about their future.<\/p>\n
