June 1 marks International Children’s Day.

International Children’s Day is one of the oldest international holidays. The decision to hold it was taken in 1925 at the World Conference on Child Welfare in Geneva.

International Children’s Day has its own flag. On a green background, symbolizing growth, harmony, freshness and fertility, stylized figures  red, yellow, blue, white, and black are placed around the earth’s sign. These human figures symbolize diversity and tolerance. The sign of the Earth, placed in the center, is a symbol of our common homeIt has already been nearly a century since June 1 was proclaimed ‘Children’s Day’ at the ‘World Conference for the Well-being of Children’ in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1925, with the goal of highlighting the needs of children. More and more countries have joined the initiative since its launch, showing their support to youngsters and helping to end the problems they face in society. Children’s Day was universally established in 1954.

Armenia ratified the Convention on Children’s Rights in 1992, after which in 1996 the Law of the Republic of Armenia “Children’s Rights” was adopted. Our country organizes and holds different events dedicated to the Children Protection Day.

In the Republic of Armenia June 1 is made a real festivity for children by the cultural and entertainment organizations. Different events are held in the capital of the Republic and in the regions as well. 

The Day belongs to the children. Let us make it a celebration for them!
