International Children's Day: A Global Celebration for the Future
A Day Dedicated to the Well-being of Young People
On June 1st of every year, the world unites to celebrate International Children's Day, a day dedicated to the promotion of children's rights and well-being. Observances vary worldwide, but one thing remains constant: a commitment to creating a brighter future for every child.
A Legacy of Progress
The roots of International Children's Day can be traced back to the early 1920s when the first such event was organized in Geneva, Switzerland. The date was chosen to commemorate the 1925 Geneva Declaration on the Rights of the Child, a landmark document that laid the foundation for modern child protection laws.
Since then, International Children's Day has become a global movement, celebrated in over 145 countries. It serves as an opportunity to reflect on the progress made in protecting children's rights and to highlight the challenges that remain.
