Racism and discrimination against children rife in countries worldwide

World Children’s Day is annually marked as set by the UN on November 20, and the 2022 celebration comes under the theme: “Inclusion for Every Child”.

However, racism and discrimination against children based on their ethnicity, language and religion, are rife in countries across the world, according to reports by the UN Children’s Fund, UNICEF.

Millions of children in the Middle East and across the world are suffering from malnutrition and diseases like cholera due to the impacts of climate change, conflict, and the cost-of-living crisis.
