Taiwan cities host events to promote Convention on the Rights of the Child

Local governments in Chiayi and Taoyuan have organized various activities to promote the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) in anticipation of International Children's Rights Day.

In Chiayi City, the government hosted an event featuring children's theater and a four-panel comic exhibition. The program, titled “Happy Little Dragon Girl,” integrated the four core principles of the CRC: non-discrimination, the best interests of the child, the right to life, survival, and development, and the right to expression. The event drew approximately 300 participants, including 150 families.

In Taoyuan, the city held a Halloween-themed party at the Taoyuan Arts Plaza to engage children with CRC concepts through interactive games and challenges. These activities focused on themes such as equality, protection, and the right to play. Additionally, the Taoyuan Social Affairs Bureau organized an exhibition at the Taoyuan Public Library to showcase the progress of children's rights and encourage youth participation in public affairs.
