On International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression, let's stand together to protect and advocate for the rights of all children affected by conflict and violence.
Mark your calendars for June 4, because it's time to raise awareness and honor the innocent children who have been victims of aggression on International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression. This day was established by the United Nations in 1982 to recognize and acknowledge the suffering of children around the world due to acts of aggression, including physical, mental, and emotional violence. It is a reminder that all children deserve to live in peace and safety, free from harm. Let's come together as a global community to spread love and kindness towards our youngest generation!
