History of the Day

In June 1942, the German fascists shot and killed more than 140 male citizens over the age of 16 and all the babies in the Czech village of Lidice, and took the women and 90 children to a concentration camp. The premises and buildings of the village were burned down.

In order to pay tribute to the memory of the village of Lidice and all the children around the world who died in the fascist war of aggression, the Women's International Democratic Federation (WIDF) held a council meeting in Moscow in November 1949, at which the representatives of China and other countries angrily exposed the crimes of brutalizing and gassing the children by the imperialists and the reactionaries of various countries. In order to guarantee the right to survival, health care and education of children in all countries of the world, and in order to improve the lives of children, the conference decided to adopt June 1 every year as International Children's Day.
