A celebration in Mindanao was held on November 13, where hundreds of children in Cotabato City participated in an “Art of the Future” painting exhibit, a video time capsule, and a panel discussion with leaders from UNICEF and the Bangsamoro Government about protecting the future of children in the Bangsamoro.
“Children in the Philippines face many threats to their survival and development. We can choose a hopeful future or continue with business as usual and leave our children behind. As we commemorate 35 years of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and approach the end of the first quarter of the 21st century, we must equip children with the skills and resources to navigate a rapidly changing world,” said UNICEF Philippines Acting Representative Behzad Noubary.
