Other variants of this day include Universal Children\u2019s Day and World Children\u2019s Day celebrated on 20<sup>th<\/sup> June, in many countries. International Day for the Protection of Children or International Children Day is observed on June 1 in Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, Europe, Africa as well as other communist and socialist states.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"International_Childrens_Day_2019\"><\/span>International Children\u2019s Day 2019<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>International Children\u2019s Day in 2019 was celebrated on Saturday, 1<sup>st<\/sup> June. The day was observed with speeches, awareness campaigns and several other events related to the welfare of the children.<\/p>\n<p>Some countries celebrate International children\u2019s Day as a public holiday while some celebrate it as a full day holiday for the schools.<\/p>\n<p>To state an example, in the Republic of China the day was as a full day holiday at all schools and a series of recreational activities for the children including \u2013 camping trips, stage performances and free movies to have fun.<\/p>\n<p>The government of China also gives gifts to below 14 years children of government officials. Even the civil servants are given a half day off to spend more time with their children.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"International_Childrens_Day_-_History\"><\/span>International Children\u2019s Day \u2013 History<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The origin of the holiday dates back to 1925 when representatives from different countries met in Geneva, Switzerland at the World Conference for the Wellbeing of Children. As a consequence of the conference, many countries started observing Children\u2019s Day to bring to fore the issues concerning children. Though, there was no specific date assigned and countries observe it on dates suitable to them as per their culture.<\/p>\n<p>The date June 1 of International children\u2019s Day was established by the Women\u2019s International Democratic Federation (WIDF), during its November 1949 Congress in Moscow. WIDF is an international organization established in 1945 and working for the rights of women.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Need_for_International_Childrens_Day\"><\/span>Need for International Children\u2019s Day<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>International Children\u2019s Day is established to protect the rights of children throughout the world and to take initiatives for their welfare and growth.<\/p>\n<p>Despite global progresses made in terms of protection of child rights and overall development, education of the children, still a lot remains to be done. Millions of children, even in developed nations as the United States, live in poverty and other challenging situations. Children in war torn areas or conflict zones, live a deprived life with scarce food, almost no health facilities, no education and are often subjected to physical abuse, bullying and harassment.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, global estimates reveal that almost 16000 children die before attaining the age of five years, mostly due to preventable causes like malnutrition, low health awareness, improper maternal care and absence of adequate health facilities.<\/p>\n<p>One child in six children is not going to school and missing out on critical learning essential for future and growth. Also 1 in 80 children are forced by conflict to flee to save their life, exposing them to a high risk.<\/p>\n<p>Statistics provided by the UNICEF (United Nations International Children\u2019s Emergency Fund) reveal that every year around 1000 children die in Syria due to war and a good number are recruited to participate in hostile war activities.<\/p>\n<p>The society needs its children to be healthy, happy, educated and progressive. This is indeed also a fundamental prerequisite for any nation to be progressive. Hence, the celebration of International Children\u2019s Day is essential to protect the rights and privileges of the children across the globe.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_is_International_Childrens_Day_Celebrated\"><\/span>How is International Children\u2019s Day Celebrated?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Series of events are organized across the globe to raise awareness about the issues concerning the children and the ways to address them.<\/p>\n<p>Events like talk shows, speeches, discussions are organized in which the significant issues related to the children are discussed. Several recreational events are also organized in schools and colleges in which the children happily participate. The events include, stage performances, picnic tours etc.<\/p>\n<p>Communities, NGOs, parents and other relevant organizations come forward to discuss the problems faced by the children and also on their possible solutions.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Significance_of_the_International_Childrens_Day\"><\/span>Significance of the International Children\u2019s Day<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Children in a family need care, love, protection and support. It\u2019s hard to imagine a happy family without a happy child. There are millions of children in the world those are facing issues like \u2013 poverty, hunger, malnutrition, violence etc.<\/p>\n<p>International Children\u2019s Day provides a platform to the parents, civil societies, teachers and other well wishers to come together and discuss about the problems faced by the children and what remedial measures should be taken to tackle them.<\/p>\n<p>The day gives us a chance to advocate and promote child\u2019s rights transforming them into dialogues and action. This in turn will build a better world for the children and provide them with adequate growth opportunities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>International Day for the Protection of children being observed in many countries on 1st June, since 1950 is also known [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_yoast_wpseo_focuskw":"","_yoast_wpseo_title":"","_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"Find International Children's Day 2019 date, History, Objectives and Significance of International Children's Day.
