Children's Day is a day dedicated to celebrating children and promoting their welfare and rights. The date and significance of Children's Day may vary from country to country, but many nations celebrate it with similar themes.
Many countries celebrate Children's Day on June 1st in conjunction with International Children's Day. However, some countries have their own specific dates. For example, in the United States, it is celebrated on the second Sunday of June, while in India, it is celebrated on November 14th, the birthday of Jawaharlal Nehru.

Main Aspects of the Celebration
Organization of Events for Children: Many countries organize festive events for children on this day: concerts, competitions, exhibitions, sports competitions, and festivals. This is an opportunity for children to have fun and feel the care and support of society.

Actions and campaigns in support of children's rights. Children's Day is also a time for actions and campaigns aimed at drawing attention to children's problems, such as violence, child trafficking, lack of education and health care.

Charity and assistance to children in need. On this day, many charities hold fundraising events to help children in difficult living conditions. This could be helping orphans, sick children, or victims of armed conflicts.

Issues that are highlighted on Children's Day
Access to education. In many countries, children do not have the opportunity to attend school due to poverty, conflict, or discrimination. On Children's Day, public attention is drawn to the need to ensure that every child has access to quality education.

Protection from violence and exploitation. Many children are subjected to violence both in the family and in society, and are also used in child labor or become victims of human trafficking. This day reminds us of the importance of combating these phenomena.

Children's health and well-being. Lack of medical care, poor living conditions, and malnutrition remain problems for many children around the world. Children's Day draws attention to the need to improve the health care system and social support for children.

The right to a happy childhood. Children's Day is a reminder that every child deserves a happy and safe childhood, where they have the opportunity to grow and develop in an atmosphere of love, respect and care.

Children's Day is an important holiday that reminds us of the need to protect children's rights and create conditions for their harmonious development.
