Ahead of November 20, 'DIyMO' Children’s Office and Save the Children Launch New Series on Child Rights

Educational Series: Understanding and Exercising Children's Rights

According to Міністерство соц. політики: The Children and Youth Office 'DIyMO' under Ukraine’s Ministry of Social Policy has developed an educational series titled "Understanding and Exercising Children's Rights." This initiative was created in partnership with the international humanitarian organization Save the Children and funded by the Swedish Government (SIDA). The series debuted just before November 20, a significant date when Ukraine observes both Children’s Protection Day and Universal Children’s Day.

November 20 holds global importance as it marks the day in 1989 when the UN General Assembly adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The series is accessible through the Diia.Education platform, making it widely available to young audiences. Its primary goal is to increase awareness among children and youth about their rights and how to actively claim them.

The Impact of the Educational Series

This educational series represents a crucial advancement in Ukraine’s ongoing efforts to safeguard children’s rights and support their educational and developmental needs. Aligning with international commitments like the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the project empowers the younger generation with knowledge that encourages their meaningful participation in society.

The involvement of global organizations such as Save the Children highlights the vital role of international cooperation in promoting and protecting children’s rights worldwide.
