Children's Day is a feast for every child!
I always thought that the International Children's Day was introduced by the United Nations - since it was always called international - but in reality the United Nations proclaimed not the June but the November 20th as the Universal Children's Day - by the resolution of the national assembly in 1954. November 20th - is devoted to promoting the welfare of the children of the world.

The International Children's Day has been introduced in Poland in the early fifties of XX century. It was easily adopted by Polish children and adults - on the personal level as well as in schools and other public institutions.
It coincided with the beginning of summer and since it takes place near the end of the school year - it is usually treated as a holiday. Children attend schools at this day - but school usually organizes for them some special activities - like outdoor plays or the field trips.
This day and also the whole week of the beginning of June is the time of the festivities organized in the parks and entertainment centers. The parents usually buy some small gifts to their kids - the smaller the children the bigger the gifts.
The origin of the International Children's Day reaches 1925 year. Two important events took place on June 1st in 1925 - the World Conference for the Wellbeing of Children in Geneva; in the same time the Chinese consul-general in San Francisco gathered a number of Chinese orphans to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival.
The celebrating of June 1st as the International Children's Day was initiated by the International Federation of Democratic Women during their meeting in Fall 1949.
June 1st as Children Day is celebrated not only in Poland but also in Czech republic, in Slovakia, Russia, Baltic republic and also in the Eastern part of the Germany. The rest of the world celebrated the Children's Day either in a different time, sometimes in a bit different form. In many countries children do not have their special day or... they have their special days all around the year!
国际儿童节简介
国际儿童节(又称儿童节,International Children's Day),它是保障世界各国儿童的生存权、保健权和受教育权,为了改善儿童的生活,为了反对虐杀儿童和毒害儿童的节日。大多数国家通常定为每年的6月1日。目前,各国政府普遍关注儿童的未来,保护儿童的权益。联合国1990年通过的《儿童权利公约》,我国是参与制定国和签约国之一。在批准《儿童权利公约》的同一年,我国颁布了《中华人民共和国未成年人保护法》,这对维护少年儿童的权益起到了积极的作用。
国际儿童节由来
儿童是国家的未来的主人翁,因此,如何提供儿童一个良好的家庭、社会或是学习环境,乃是世界各国致力的目标。1925年8月在瑞士日内瓦召开的关于儿童福利的国际会议上,首次提出了“国际儿童节”的概念。
这次大会有54个国家的爱护儿童代表,聚集在瑞士日内瓦举行“儿童幸福国际大会”,通过《日内瓦保障儿童宣言》。宣言中,对于儿童精神上应有的享受、贫苦儿童的救济、儿童危险工作的避免、儿童谋生机会的获得,以及怎样救养儿童等问题,均有热烈讨论。
自此次大会后,一方面藉以鼓舞儿童,让儿童感到幸福、快乐,另一方面也为引起社会重视与爱护,各国政府都先后订定“儿童节”。
特别是在第二次世界大战期间,1942年6月,德国法西斯枪杀了捷克利迪策村16岁以上的男性公民140余人和全部婴儿,并把妇女和90名儿童押往集中营。村里的房舍、建筑物均被烧毁,好端端的一个村庄就这样被德国法西斯给毁了。为了悼念利迪策村和全世界所有在法西斯侵略战争中死难的儿童,反对帝国主义战争贩子虐杀和毒害儿童,保障儿童权利,1949年11月国际民主妇女联合会在莫斯科召开执委会,正式决定每年6月1日为全世界少年儿童的节日,即国际儿童节。
1951年4月,国际民主妇女联合会在苏联莫斯科开会,决定每年的6月1日为国际儿童节。
决议号召保障世界各国儿童的生存权、保健权和受教育的权利。指出:全世界所有民主团体和成年男女要同雇用男女童工现象作斗争,由国家保护儿童的健康,用削减军费的办法满足儿童所需的经费。
目前世界上许多国家都将6月1日定为儿童的节日,尤其是在社会主义国家。在欧美国家,儿童节的日期各不相同,而且往往很少举行社会公众性的庆祝活动。因此往往有人误解为只有社会主义国家才将6月1日定为儿童节。事实上,近年来,美国的一些组织也开始考虑将儿童节定在6月1日。
