June 1st - date (when, what date is the holiday)

International Children's Day was proposed and officially established by the Congress of the Women's International Democratic Federation in 1949. The first celebration children's day was scheduled for June 1, 1950, at that time it was celebrated in 51 countries of the world. The UN reacted positively to the initiative of the creators of the holiday and took an active part in ensuring a safe future for the young generation. In 1959, the Declaration of the Rights of the Child was proposed to the countries of the world, and in 1989 the UN introduced the states to the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

In the 21st century, children need protection and support no less than in the post-war years. The purpose of the holiday is to draw attention to the problems of children, especially children left without parental care and forced to live in dysfunctional families. The organizers of festive events are trying on June 1 not only to prepare entertainment and competitions for kids, but also to do everything possible so that adults understand that no one but them can help children.

Background and history of the holiday

History knows that in 1925, on the very first day of summer, the Consul General of China in San Francisco found children who had lost their parents and organized a national holiday for them - Duan Wu Jie, commonly known as the Dragon Boat Festival. In parallel with this event, the first international conference was held in Geneva on the first day of June, considering the pressing problems of the well-being of the younger generation. These events contributed to the birth of the idea of ​​a holiday dedicated to children.

Officially, the holiday was established in the post-war 1949 at the November Congress of the International Democratic Federation of Women. The first Children's Day in world history was celebrated on June 1, 1950, events dedicated to it were held in 51 countries of the world. The purpose of these events was to draw attention to the non-childish problems of those who cannot fend for themselves on their own. Above all, the organizers wanted to protect children from hunger and war. At this conference, they vowed to do everything possible to maintain peace throughout the planet.

The UN approved the initiative and contributed to the protection of the younger generation. In 1959, she drafted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child, which includes a number of articles that ensure the legal protection of underage citizens. The Declaration had no legal force, but its recommendations were readily accepted in many states.

After 30 years, in November 1989, the UN prepared the Convention on the Rights of the Child - the main document that defines the obligations of states to children. The Supreme Soviet of the USSR ratified the convection on July 13, 1990, and on September 15 it entered into force. In total, the document contains 54 articles regulating the rights of children and the obligations of adults towards them.

International Children's Day is also unique in that it has its own flag. On a rich green background, the planet Earth is depicted, around which there are multi-colored figures symbolizing children holding hands.

Importance of International Children's Day in Russia

In Russia, the holiday continues to be celebrated on a large scale. It has never been and is not a day off, but it is on this day that schoolchildren's favorite time starts - summer holidays. Sports competitions, competitions, concerts, film screenings and other entertainment events are traditionally held in schools and preschool children's institutions.

Following good traditions, children's drawing competitions are held in city squares and parks. Like decades ago, kids draw the sun, the peaceful sky, mom and dad holding hands on the pavement. Loving parents they try to spend this day with the child and give him a festive mood with the help of affordable entertainment.

Authoritative adults gather to solve pressing issues, and generous sponsors time financial assistance to coincide with the holiday. Special attention support for orphanages, large families, kids from dysfunctional families and children with severe illnesses.

Children Protection Day

Will be held in the following cities:

Children's Day, which falls on the first day of summer, is one of the oldest international holidays, celebrated all over the world since 1950. The decision to hold it was taken by the Women's International Democratic Federation at a special session in November 1949. The UN supported this initiative and declared the protection of the rights, life and health of children one of the priorities of its activities.

International Children's Day is, first of all, a reminder to adults of the need to respect the rights of children to life, to freedom of opinion and religion, to education, recreation and leisure, to protection from physical and psychological abuse, for protection against exploitation child labor as necessary conditions for the formation of a humane and just society.

In 1959, the UN adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child, which included articles calling on parents, state bodies, local authorities and governments, non-governmental organizations to recognize the rights and freedoms of children set forth in them and strive to respect them. The Declaration was only advisory in nature and had no binding force.

The first and main international legal document, in which the rights of the child were considered at the level of international law, was the Convention on the Rights of the Child, adopted by the UN on November 20, 1989. The Convention was signed by 61 countries, on July 13, 1990 the Convention was ratified by the USSR.

Children make up approximately 20-25% of the population in each country. IN different countries they are exposed to various dangers from which they need to be protected: in developed countries, these are the negative consequences of addiction to TV and computers (serious studies have shown that children tend to copy in life those cruel actions that they see on the screen or during computer games), in Western Europe they are concerned about the too early sexual development of children, in Japan they see the main danger in the destruction of traditional methods of education and the increasing penetration of Western habits and behaviors, in the least developed countries of Africa and Asia, children are threatened by hunger, AIDS, illiteracy and military conflicts .

According to the statistical collection "Children in Russia" published in 2010, there are more than 26 million underage citizens in our country. Every year, the child population of Russia is reduced by 1 million people, and the number of children left without parental care and in orphanages is increasing by 4-6 thousand people a year. The total number of orphans and children left without parental care is about 714 thousand people, of which more than 136 thousand are brought up in residential institutions.

According to the Ministry of Health and Social Development at the end of 2010, almost 18.5 million children (or 71% of the total number of children) attend preschool and general education institutions, spending most of their active time there.

In 2010, according to official data, 20.7% of schoolchildren had the first health group, 59.2% had the second health group, and 18.3% had the third health group, i.e. 1.8% of children had chronic diseases, the fourth and fifth health groups (disabling diseases). There is an increase in the number of children graduating from school with a decrease in hearing acuity by 44%, with a decrease in visual acuity by 2.7 times, with impaired posture by 45%, with scoliosis by 5.7 times.

According to the report of Pavel Astakhov, Commissioner for Children's Rights under the President of the Russian Federation, the unfavorable dynamics of the growth in the number of sexual crimes committed against minors and young children continues. In 2010, according to official data alone, more than 9.5 thousand crimes against the sexual inviolability of children were committed.

The rights of children in Russia are protected by the Federal Law "On Basic Guarantees of the Rights of the Child in Russian Federation" dated July 24, 1998. The law establishes the basic guarantees of the rights and legitimate interests of the child, provided for by the Constitution of the Russian Federation. The state recognizes childhood as an important stage in a person's life and proceeds from the principles of the priority of preparing children for a full life in society, developing their socially significant and creative activity , education in them of high moral qualities, patriotism and citizenship.

Children are the best thing on our planet. Their laughter makes people happier, kinder. How I want to never see tears and sadness in the eyes of a child. And yet - how wonderful it is that the first day of summer is officially declared International Children's Day. Do you know about this holiday? If not, then hurry up and find out.

On June 1, many countries of our planet celebrate International Children's Day. Why exactly the first of June - no one will give an answer. They don't know. All appointed! But the history of the appearance of the marked date is very interesting.

Everything happened in 1925. The conference addressed the issue of the well-being of the children of Geneva. During the conference, a decision was made to set a date for a special day.

There are several versions as to who exactly came up with such a holiday. One by one children began to be celebrated after the Chinese consul, having gathered homeless orphans from China, arranged for them a merry holiday-festival of dragon boats. The celebration was held in San Francisco. They say that everything was organized on June 1st. And that very same conference was taking place that day in Geneva.

There is also another version of the creation of the holiday. And the story is connected with the Second World War. After the war, many children were left orphans. The children, left without parental care, a roof over their heads, were sick and starving. Child mortality has risen.

In 1949, at the Paris conference, a slogan was heard calling for the struggle for the happiness of children, in whom the future of all mankind lies. Exactly one year later, the first holiday was organized - International Children's Day. Since then it has been held every year.

Features of a children's holiday

A very interesting fact is that the celebration of Children's Day was supported by many. For example, in the USSR, it was decided that children start on June 1st. On this day trips to cinemas, excursions, competitions and relay races were organized. The main participants of the festival are, of course, children. But parents are also actively involved.

The international one has its own unique flag, which is simply impossible to confuse with any other. Against a background of green, children's multi-colored figures are located around. Each element depicted on the flag is symbolic. Green color implies harmony and prosperity, purity and fertility. The globe is a common home. Human figurines are children of the Earth.

How to note children's holiday?

Of course, for a child, every day should be like a holiday. But June 1 is a special day. Adults, put things off on International Children's Day! Dedicate yourself to the kids. Take the whole family for a walk, visit fun activities for children, please them with sweets and gifts. Let the children laugh and rejoice.

Also, do not forget on International Children's Day about those who do not know and do not remember parental warmth. Visit, for example, an orphanage and give gifts to children in the orphanage. They will be very happy. Believe me, in these touching moments you will feel immense happiness from the fact that thanks to you these lonely little hearts have become a little happier.
