\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

November 20 is designated as Universal Children\u2019s Day by the United Nations as a day to promote international togetherness and awareness among children worldwide, as well as to improve the welfare of children’s. Nevertheless, children are still suffering all over the world, with Japan being no exception.<\/p>\n

We at Human Rights Now want to change that. We want us all to consider what children\u2019s rights truly are, and for this reason, every year we hold an open event to celebrate this day: our annual charity walk and run!<\/p>\n

To help spread our message and tell the world that children are important, and indeed our future, you are essential!<\/p>\n

The core theme of our walk and run this year is ending violence against children.<\/p>\n

In Japan, many children are suffering from bullying, physical and emotional abuse, and sexual exploitation. Children around the globe are victims of armed conflicts, human trafficking, and other catastrophes.<\/p>\n

We are scheduling different types of action to take on this day to help rid the world of this abuse. Our organization will also be present at the grounds to offer detailed information about what we are doing in relation to children\u2019s rights as well as more information about the current situation of children\u2019s rights. We will also have speeches about children\u2019s rights. Gather your friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers together, and help tell the world that we are watching, and we will change it!<\/p>\n

*Violence against children includes physical and psychological punishment and abuse, bullying, child labor, and human trafficking. Eradicating violence against children is one of the UN\u2019s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), listed in 16.2.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re an avid runner or only a casual walker, you can help us make a difference! Come join us on November 18th!<\/p>\n
