National Child Day 2010 – The Right to Freedom of Expression

The Canadian Child Care Federation has selected Article 13, the right to freedom of expression, as the theme for National Child Day this year.

Article 13 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child states:

"The child shall have the right to freedom of expression; this right shall include freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print, in the form of art, or through other media of the child's choice."
