UNICEF exhibition on children's rights

To mark World Children's Day, an exhibition on children's rights was unveiled at Place de Strasbourg on Wednesday, 20 November 2024, with the College of the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Luxembourg in attendance. The exhibition, produced by UNICEF Luxembourg for World Children's Day, presents in an easily understandable way the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, which was adopted by the UN at its General Assembly on 20 November 1989.

The 17-panel exhibit aims to raise awareness among children and young people of their rights, and highlights a selection of articles from the Convention, including non-discrimination, free expression of opinion, the right to rest and play, the responsibility of parents or legal guardians, protection against all forms of violence or neglect, the right of refugee children to protection and humanitarian assistance, and access to education. Founded in 1946 to help children in the post-war period, today UNICEF works in 190 countries and territories all over the globe to save children, defend their rights and help them fulfil their potential.

The exhibition will be on display at Place de Strasbourg until early January 2025. Admission is free.
