Theme of World Children\u2019s Day:<\/span><\/h2>\n

This year\u2019s theme is – \u201cInvesting in our future means investing in our children\u201d – and the aim is to help children to recover from interruptions and learning losses experienced through the pandemic in the last two years.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to <\/b>UNICEF<\/b><\/a>,<\/span> \u201cThe COVID-19 pandemic has shown how inequality affects the rights of every child.

This World Children\u2019s Day, it\u2019s more important than ever that the world listens to their ideas and demands.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n
