Children taking over the floor in Armenian parliament as the world marks Universal Children's Day
Universal Children’s Day is marked on November 20 worldwide. This year the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) has initiated a campaign in which children from around the world will be taking over key roles in media, politics, business, sport and entertainment to voice their support for millions of their peers who are unschooled, unprotected and uprooted.
To note, the takeover marks also the anniversary of the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child
Armenian National Assembly (NA) has joined the world initiative of providing its floor to children for one day. In the NA Session Hall, the NA Standing Committee on Health Care and Social Affairs, on Science, Education, Culture, Youth and Sport and on State and Legal Affairs and Protection of Human Rights conducts a special sitting, as Armenia children deliver speeches voicing the problems concerning them and their versions of solving them.
