Icheon-si to Hold UNICEF Child-Friendly City Certification Ceremony on the 20th

Gyeonggi-do Icheon City will hold the "Child-Friendly City Certification Proclamation Ceremony" on the 20th at the Icheon Art Hall Small Theater to commemorate the UNICEF Child-Friendly City certification and share the vision for creating a city where children are happy.

At this event attended by local children and citizens, the program will include ▲ a report on the progress of the Child-Friendly City initiative ▲ reading of the Children's Rights Charter by the Child Participation Committee ▲ reading and performance of the Child-Friendly City vision proclamation ▲ congratulatory performances, and more.

The UNICEF Child-Friendly City refers to a city that provides a friendly environment where children's rights, based on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, are fully realized and children can live better lives. Since 2018, Icheon City has established and implemented various policies such as the Child Participation Committee, the Working Promotion Team, and the Ombudsperson, and obtained certification last December.

The city plans to continue promoting various policies to enhance children's rights and create a child-friendly environment, while actively reflecting children's voices in policies and building a city where children are respected in various fields such as education, welfare, and safety.

Kim Kyung-hee, Mayor of Icheon City, said, "Starting with the Child-Friendly City proclamation ceremony, we will take a step forward to become a city where children are respected and can grow up happily."
