When is the child's day
The day of the child is a celebration that is celebrated internationally but in each country it is a different day. In the so-called International Union for the Protection of Children in 1952, it was suggested that there should be a day of celebration dedicated to children and a year later many countries joined this celebration. The UN shortly after, in 1954, decided that in all the countries of the world this day would have to be celebrated to honor and emphasize the needs of children all over the world. Next, we tell you when the child's day is celebrated in different countries.
