Cartoons for Childrens Rights 

In 2004, UNICEF released the ‘Top 10 Cartoons for Children’s Rights’, as selected by broadcasters and communicators, to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, (CRC).

Cartoons for Children's Rights is a UNICEF broadcast initiative that aims to inform people around the world about children’s rights.

Each cartoon illustrates a right in the CRC, such as ‘Freedom from Child Labour’ or ‘Protection from Neglect’. All the spots are non-verbal, in order to get the rights message across to everyone, regardless of language. The spots have aired on more than 2,000 television stations globally.
