Children's Day is recognized on

various days in many places

around the world, to
honor children globally. It was
first proclaimed by the World
Conference for the Well-being
of Children in 1925 and then
established universally in 1954
to protect an "appropriate" day.
[1]
International Day for Protection
of Children, observed in many
countries as Children's Day on
June 1 since 1950, was
established by the Women's
International Democratic
Federation on its congress in Moscow (22 November 1949). Major global variants
include aUniversal Children's Day on November 20, by United
Nations recommendation.[2]
Universal Children's Day[edit]
Universal Children's Day takes place annually on November 20.[3] First proclaimed
by the United Nations General Assembly in 1954, it was established to encourage all
countries to institute a day, firstly to promote mutual exchange and understanding
among children and secondly to initiate action to benefit and promote the welfare of
the world's children.
This day is observed to promote the objectives outlined in the Charter and for the
welfare of children. On November 20, 1958 the United Nations adopted
the Declaration of the Rights of the Child.[4] The United Nations adopted
the Convention on the Rights of the Child on November 20, 1989 and can be
found here .
In 2000, the Millennium Development Goals outlined by world leaders in order to
stop the spread of HIV/AIDS by 2015. Albeit this applies to all people, the main
objective is with regard to children.[4] UNICEF is dedicated to meeting the six of
eight goals that apply to the needs of children so that they are all entitled to basic
rights written in the 1989 international human rights treaty.[5] UNICEF delivers
vaccines, works with policymakers for good health care and education and works
exclusively to help children and protect their rights.[5]
In September 2012, the Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon of the United Nations led
the initiative for the education of children.[6] He firstly wants every child to be able
to attend school, a goal by 2015.[6] Secondly, to improve the skillset acquired in

these schools.[6] Thirdly, implementing policies regarding education to promote

peace, respect and environmental concern.[6]
