Children’s Day has a rich history in Mexico, celebrated annually since 1924. The day aims to recognize children's rights and raise awareness about the need to protect disadvantaged minors. The origins of this celebration can be traced back to the aftermath of World War I, when many children lost their parents and were left to escape the violence of the conflict. In response to this tragic situation, the League of Nations ratified the Declaration of Geneva on September 26, 1924, emphasizing the need for special protection for children.
In 1925, the World Conference on Child Welfare held in Geneva officially declared June 1 as International Children’s Day. However, in Mexico, the celebration was established on April 30, 1924, under President Álvaro Obregón's government. This date was chosen to avoid conflict with other significant national celebrations, such as the anniversary of the Mexican Revolution, which falls on November 20.
In 1959, the UN General Assembly approved the Declaration of the Rights of the Child, which further reinforced the need to protect children's rights. Eventually, on November 20, 1989, the Convention on the Rights of the Child was adopted, marking a significant milestone in the global commitment to children's welfare.
On this day, various events and activities are organized across Mexico to honor the joy, curiosity, and energy of children. Families can choose from a wide range of options, including interactive museums, amusement parks, aquariums, themed cinemas, and recreational centers, all designed to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for children to learn and play.
