Congratulations on the joyous occasion of the International Day for the Protection of Children!

On this remarkable day, celebrated annually on the 1st of June, we come together to honor and recognize children worldwide for their invaluable rights: the right to survival, the right to thrive, protection from harmful influences, and the right to actively participate in family, cultural, and social spheres. While this day may be observed in select countries, its significance reverberates across the globe.

It is disheartening to acknowledge that numerous children find themselves engaged in arduous domestic work, often under distressing circumstances. Many of these young souls are exposed to exploitation, toiling far away from the comfort of their homes. This solemn reality underscores the crucial importance of dedicating a specific day to raise awareness about their protection and advocate for their well-being.

Back in 1954, the International Day for the Protection of Children was established not only to safeguard their rights but also to combat child labor and ensure every child receives the education they deserve. With its illustrious history, this day stands as one of the oldest and most revered international holidays in existence.

Today, as we commemorate this momentous occasion, let us join hands in solidarity to champion the cause of child protection. Together, we can create a brighter future where every child is nurtured, cherished, and provided with the opportunities they need to flourish.

Congratulations again on this special day of celebration, and let us continue working tirelessly to safeguard the well-being and rights of children everywhere.
