International Children

International Children (also known as children's Day, International Children's Day) is scheduled for June 1 each year.
It is designed to guarantee the survival, health and education rights of children in all countries of the world, and to improve the lives of children, to fight against cruelty to children and to poison children. At present, many countries in the world will be June 1 as a children's festival.

The origin of the festival

The establishment of international children was associated with a famous massacre during the Second World War. In June 1942, German fascists shot and killed more than 140 male citizens over 16 years of age and all the babies of the Czech Zeh, and the women and 90 children were remanded to the concentration camps. The houses and buildings in the village were burnt down, and a village was destroyed by German fascists. After the end of the Second World War, economic depression, tens of thousands of workers lost their jobs and lived in hunger and cold. Children are in worse condition, some are infected, some are killed, others are forced into child labour, tortured, and life and life are not guaranteed. In November 1949, the International Federation of Democratic Women held a council meeting in Moscow in honor of Liddy Zeh and all the children of the world who died in the fascist War of aggression.　To ensure the survival, health and education of children around the world, in order to improve the lives of children, the Conference decided that the first day of the June massacre at Zeh was international children. Many countries at that time expressed their approval, especially in the socialist countries.
Many countries in the world have June 1 as children's festivals, especially in socialist countries. In Europe and the United States, the date of children's Day is different, and often rarely held social and public celebrations. It has therefore been misunderstood that only socialist countries have June 1 as international children.
In order to guarantee the rights and interests of children around the world, in November 1949 the International Federation of Democratic Women convened a decision of the Executive Committee in Moscow to act as international children every June 1. After the founding of New China, the Central People's government AC on December 23, 1949, the Chinese Children's Day and international children unified.
