KHYBER
\nThe Directorate of Social Welfare, Special Education, and Women Empowerment Department (Merged Districts), in collaboration with UNICEF, organized an event at Tehsil Landi Kotal, District Khyber, for the Christian minority community.
\nThe primary objective was to engage minority children in a range of activities as part of the Universal Children\u2019s Day celebrations held on 16 November.
\nThe Universal Children\u2019s Day, established by the United Nations in 1954, is celebrated annually on 20th of November to promote international togetherness, awareness among children, and improvement of children\u2019s welfare.
\nThe date marks the adoption of the Declaration of the Rights of the Child (1959) and the Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989).
\nIn 2025, the global theme \u201cMy Day, My Rights\u201d highlights the importance of listening to children, ensuring their participation in decision-making, and recognizing their voices as central to development and protection.
\nThis year\u2019s celebration aims to bring together students, youth, faculty, and street children in an inclusive and interactive open-space event featuring art, theatre, and recreational activities to promote child protection messages and children\u2019s rights.
\nChildren, adolescents, youth, and families actively participated in art activities, sports and recreational events, MHPSS sessions, and quiz competitions.
\nSports and recreational kits, art materials, and stationery gifts were distributed to children involved in the various activities with UNICEF\u2019s support.
\nThrough these joint efforts, the event aimed to reach children, youth, and communities particularly minority groups in District Khyber promoting inclusion, participation, and awareness on child rights and protection while celebrating the spirit of Universal Children\u2019s Day this year.
\nThe communities expressed their gratitude to the Department and UNICEF for their dedicated efforts in reaching and supporting minority groups.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
