Today’s front page of the day comes from ARA in Barcelona, Spain. For Universal Children’s Day, ARA led with a drawing from Toni, a 10-year-old. The headline reads, roughly (and using Google Translate): “The plight of refugees through a child’s eyes.” Via Newseum:
ARA included art from children inside, too, and a story about the hardships children in Syria now face.

The United Nations first declared Nov. 20 as Universal Children’s Day in 1954 “to be observed as a day of worldwide fraternity and understanding between children.”
The Convention, which is the most widely ratified international human rights treaty, sets out a number of children’s rights including the right to life, to health, to education and to play, as well as the right to family life, to be protected from violence, to not be discriminated, and to have their views heard.
On the basis of the Convention and joint effort by all the countries and regions, let us promote and celebrate children’s right on the Universal Children’s Day, and continuously build up a living-friendly environment for children in the world through dialogues and actions.
