UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors David Beckham and Millie Bobby Brown will headline a global summit at the United Nations Headquarters in New York where they will join children and young people in demanding action to protect and promote child rights.
The UNICEF summit is part of celebrations marking World Children’s Day which coincides this year with the 30th anniversary of the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the most widely ratified human rights treaty in history. Children will participate in similar summits in more than 50 countries, from Armenia to Jordan and from Ethiopia to Indonesia.
“Children everywhere dream of a better future,” said David Beckham who will open the global summit. “I have worked with UNICEF for almost 20 years and I have met children in all corners of the world, young people that have ambitions for a better education, a life free from disease and for peace. All children deserve the opportunity to reach their potential and I’m very proud to support the young people speaking up for change today.” ....Go on reading on UNICEF website
