Media in rally for kids' rights

A total of 927 media groups from 83 countries joined the 24-hour global campaign to promote children's rights, which ended yesterday.

The campaign, also called "Global News Day for Children," was initiated by the United Nations Children's Fund to highlight the media's role in helping improve children's living environments and promoting their healthy development.

UN Secretary-General Ban Kimoon issued a message to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and celebrate Friday's Universal Children's Day.

"Children are our future," he wrote in English and Chinese.

"We must work for health, education, equality and protection for every child in the world."
