The United Nations Children's Fund UNICEF has used World Children's Day (Nov 20) to publish findings of childrens views around the world in what it's calling the most comprehensive poll of its kind ever conducted. It highlights the fact that children's perspectives must be included in the decisions that will shape the future.
