The World Conference for the Well-being of Children in Geneva, Switzerland

proclaimed June 1 to be International Children's Day in 1925. It is not clear
as to why June 1 was chosen as the International Children's Day: 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 in 1925,
which happened to be on June 1 that year, and also coincided with the
conference in Geneva.

The holiday is celebrated on 1 June each year. It is usually marked with

speeches on children's rights and wellbeing, children TV programs, parties,
various actions involving or dedicated to children, families going out, etc..

Universal Children's Day takes place on November 20 annually. First

proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in 1954, it was
established to encourage all countries to institute a day, firstly to promote
mutual exchange and understanding among children and secondly to initiate
action to benefit and promote the welfare of the world's children. It was also
chosen as the day to celebrate childhood. Universal Children's Day is
preceded by international men’s day on November 19 creating a 48 hour
celebration of men and children respectively during which time the positive
roles men play in children's lives are recognized.

The holiday was first celebrated worldwide in October 1953, under the
sponsorship of International Union for Child Welfare in Geneva. The idea of a
Universal Children's Day was adopted by the United Nations General
Assembly in 1954.

November 20 is also the anniversary of the day when the United Nations General
Assembly adopted the Declaration of the rights of the child in 1959. The Convention
on the Rights of the Child was then signed on the same day in 1989, which has since
been ratified by 191 states.

In Colombia, Children's Day is celebrated in the last weekend of April.

July 4 is national children’s day in Colombia . On this day schools organize various
activities to celebrate, and there is a tradition for children to wear clown masks.
