The History of Children's Day?

The idea of Children's Day originated in the early 20th century, with many countries establishing days to celebrate and protect children.

In 1954, the United Nations recommended that all countries observe a Universal Children's Day to promote international togetherness and awareness of children's issues. Many nations chose different dates based on cultural significance or national priorities.

Vanuatu established Children's Day as a national holiday on July 24, reflecting the nation's commitment to protecting and nurturing children.

The day aligns with national and international principles outlined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, which Vanuatu ratified in 1993, and the local laws and policies protecting children's access to education, health, and safety.

While there is no single historical event tied to this date in Vanuatu, July 24 was chosen to provide a dedicated platform for listening to children's voices, celebrating their potential and promoting child-friendly development and protection policies.
