The Lunch Hour: World Children’s Day 2024 – Thinking Critically About Childhood

November 20th is World Children’s Day. It marks the 35th anniversary of the United Nations adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the most widely ratified international treaty in history. Join us as we discuss the impact that the CRC has had on children throughout the world and contemplate why the United States remains the only country who has refused its ratification. Together, with a panel of esteemed children’s rights experts, Pennsylvania’s Child Advocate will discuss ways we can transform local, state, and national norms as they relate to childhood in Western culture.
