World Children's Day, according to the United Nations, has been celebrated on November 20 since 1954. It is an event that promotes "international togetherness, awareness among children worldwide, and improving children's welfare".
On November 20, 1959 UN General Assembly adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child. Thirty years later, the UNGA adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the same date.
Tennis star Serena Williams tweeted a video and said she is "proud to stand with UNICEF and champion for every child's right to be heard."
