Children, also known as “June1International Children‘s Day,“ the annual June1, the world of children‘s festivals. November1949, the Women‘s International Democratic Federation council meeting held in Moscow. China and other countries and representatives of countries and anger exposed the imperialist reactionaries kill and poison children. In order to protect the world‘s children to survival, health and education, to improve the lives of children. The meeting decided in the annual June1International Children‘s Day.

The International Children‘s Day (ICD) is celebrated in numerous countries, usually (but not always) on June1each year.

The ICD had its origin in the World Conference for the Wellbeing of Children in Geneva, Switzerland in1925. It is not clear as to why June1was chosen as the ICD: one theory has it that the Chinese consul-general in San Francisco (USA) gathered a number of Chinese orphans to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival in1925, which happened to be on June1that year, and also coincided with the conference in Geneva.

June1has since been observed as the ICD by numerous countries, especially by Communist countries; in the Western world the ICD is usually celebrated on other days of the year (if at all), and there is often little public awareness about these celebrations. (See the section on Germany below for further discussions.) Consequently there is sometimes a misperception that June1as the ICD was a Communist invention. Nonetheless, in recent years even some groups within the United States started observing the ICD on June1.
