The history of Children’s Day

The origin of Children’s Day dates back to 1857 when Reverend Charles Leonard founded the Universal Children’s Day in the United States. In 1925, the World Conference for the Well-being of Children declared 1st June to be International Children’s Day. The purpose of this day was to promote mutual exchange and understanding among children from different countries. In 1954, the United Nations proclaimed 20th November as Universal Children’s Day, the same day as the adoption of the Declaration of the Rights of the Child. However, many countries still celebrate Children’s Day on 1st June.
