The International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression is observed annually on June 4 to acknowledge the pain and suffering of children who have been victims of physical, emotional, or mental violence in situations of armed conflict. This observance raises awareness about the rights and dignity of all children. This day serves as a crucial reminder of the obligation that societies and countries, including Canada, have towards ensuring the protection and preservation of the rights of children worldwide. Established on August 19, 1982, by the United Nations General Assembly, the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression came about as a response to the growing number of Palestinian and Lebanese children who were affected by the Israeli occupation in the Middle East. The scope of this observance has expanded to encompass children across the globe who face various forms of aggression, whether they are refugees, internally displaced, or caught in situations of unrest and insecurity. Canada, like many nations, is committed to promoting and safeguarding children’s rights in order to foster their development and well-being. Various activities and events are held on this day to promote a deeper understanding of the challenges that millions of innocent children face in the midst of conflicts around the world.
