World Children's Day was first established in 1954 as Universal Children's Day and is celebrated on 20 November each year to promote international togetherness, awareness among children worldwide, and improving children's welfare.
December 23rd is a special date across Sudan, as it marks the birthday of the country’s “greatest child”, according to ancient tribal mythology, and accordingly, is also the date upon which International Children’s Day is celebrated each year. Performances and children’s musical groups take delight in marking the date each year, but looking deeper into the meaning of Children’s Day unearths the darker side of the troubles affecting Sudan’s children and which UNICEF are working to resolve.
