Two girls carry water in a slum of Karachi in Pakistan, May 26, 2010. Since the Convention on the Rights of the Child was put into effect on Nov 20, 1990, the date has been set as Universal Children's Day, and the global community has spared no effort to improve children's civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights. However, large numbers of children are still confronted with poor survival and medical condition. [Photo/Xinhua]
